Was it really years ago 
It seems like only yesterday 
The last time that I saw 
You laugh at me and fly away. 

I remember all of the good times 
And the songs we used to sing 
Old friend we sure have missed you 
But you ain't missed a thing. 

Lord you should've heard the music 
And all the changes it's gone through 
But the funny thing is lately 
It keeps an easing back to you. 

But there's always something missing 
It'll never be the same 
Old friend we sure have missed you 
But you ain't missed a thing. 

They've been writin' books about you 
And the stories that they tell 
Make you look like some kind of angel 
But we both know you're mean as hell. 

I've had my share of hard times 
But I've lived through the strain 
Old friend I sure have missed you 
But you ain't missed a thing. 

People talk about you 
After all this time 
You were many things to many people 
But you were a friend of mine. 

I've been thinking bout how long 
You've been gone the things you've never seen 
But old friend I sure have missed you 
But you ain't missed a thing. 

Old buddy we sure have missed you 
But you ain't missed a thing
