04. Friend Of Old

Return To Paradise
by Randy Stonehill



 

There you go, on the way to meet your fortune and your dreams,
Down a road that is often not the highway that it seems,
Well, I've been down that road and back again,
I had the grandest dreams on the way.

But if you find somehow, when the hours have run, that your hour to shine has come and gone, no, no,
Then you'll know what friends are for, and you know I always keep an open door,
This friend of old will one day be your friend once more.

You are strong with a youthful power that will not always be,
So move along, reach as high above the stars as you can see,
But if those stars don't shine on your castles there,
And if your grandest dreams start to fade...

And if you find somehow, when the hours have run, that your hour to shine has come and gone,
Then you'll know what friends are for, and you know I always keep an open door,
This friend of old will one day be your friend once more.

Well, I been down that road and back again,
I had the grandest dreams on the way.

But if you find somehow, when the hours have run, that your hour to shine has come and gone,
Then you'll know what friends are for, and you know I always keep an open door,
This friend of old will one day be your friend once more.

Once more,
Once more.
