Patty Griffin - My Dear Old Friend lyrics

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
