My old friend, where have you gone?
You were there and it seemed we had so long,
But then I turned and you were gone, my old friend.
And as the years go by, as the evening hour draws nigh,
I wonder why my friend has gone.

My sweet song, where have you gone?
I still hear your melody so strong but voices fade
And you are gone, my sweet song.
And as the years go by, as the evening hour draws nigh,
I wonder why my song has gone.

My true love, where have you gone?
I reached out with my heart upon my sleeve
But tender touch would take her leave, my true love.
And as the years go by, as the evening hour draws nigh,
I wonder why my love has gone.
