Sometimes I remember the old days

When the world was filled with sorrow

In my heart the rain was falling

The wind blew, the night was calling

Come back, come back, I'm all you've ever known
Chorus:
E
Open the door and come on in
D
I'm so glad to see you, my friend
A E
You're like a rainbow, coming around the bend
D
And when I see you happy
A D
Well, it sets my heart free
A E D
I'd like to be as good a friend to you, as you are to me

There were friends who could always see me

Through the haze their smiles would reach me

Was life and love, tears and laughter

Hello, my good friend
Hello, my darling
A
What do you know
Repeat Chorus

Not feeling free to be alive to be a friend

Now I know we all have stormy weather

The sun shines through when we're together

I'll be your friend, right through to the end
THE END!
