Intro

how will we smile ever again

 i'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend

what do you say, is there a way

my dear old friend

how will we laugh just like before

 when there's water rising up to our door

and we may never see each other again

my dear old friend

 will there be someone to remember

 a little place that we loved

 how the music played all night and day

 through the windows up above

 how the birds sang in the morning

 how the dog barked in the yard

 i guess that's nothing much but everything to us

 and that's what seems so hard

 how will we smile ever again

 i'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend

 the moon on the hill says we probably will

 my dear old friend

my dear old friend
