Where have you been my long lost friend? We haven’t talked since way back when How is life with your new love? I hope she’s something from above Something happened yesterday I need to talk to you Now I’m finding out you moved away I’m reaching out to you today I saw you walking in the past You said your love would always last Then I saw you all alone You said your heart had turned to stone Nothing matters anyway I thought I heard her say to you Nothing matters anyway Then she walked away from you There was laughter in the air The children all are there Playing in the warming sun Counting dreamers one by one I’m living in the olden days I’ve found my friends along the way Some of are here with me right now Some have disappeared somehow Where did all the people go? Why did they fade away from me? They meant so much to me and now I know That they're here to stay in my heart [January 2019 Minneapolis version on piano] I’m living in the olden days I’ve found my friends along the way Some of them are here right now But some have disappeared somehow Where did all the people go? Why did they fade away? They meant so much to me and now I know That they're here to stay in my heart When did all these people come? I see so many on the roads How can they travel in the street There’s just so many, I don’t know Too many people in this world It’s not the life I know We have the room to move We have the room to grow But now I think we’re living way too fast I’m longing for a day that lasts I’m searching now for my old friends Some say I’m living in the past Something happened yesterday See how it slipped away Something happened yesterday Back in the olden days
