My Dear Old Friend

by Mary Chapin Carpenter

on Music From and Inspired By WE WERE SOLDIERS (2002)

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
