Eric Clapton - Hello Old Friend lyrics

As I am strolling down the garden path, I saw a flower glowing in the dark. It looked so pretty and it was unique; I had to bend down just to have a peek. [Chorus:] Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. I saw you walking underneath the stars; I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car. I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far If I got out and walked to where you are. [Chorus] An old man pa**ed me on the street today; I thought I knew him but I couldn't say. I stopped to think if I could place his frame. When he tipped his hat I knew his name. [Chorus: x2]
