Old Friend

Cath:
Every time Ive lost another lover
I call up my old friend
And I say lets get together
Im under the weather
Another love has come to an end
Flo:
And she listens as I tell her my sad story
And wonders at my taste in friends
And we ponder why I do it
And the pain of getting through it
And she laughs and says
Cath:
Youll do it again.
Ensemble:
But we sit in a bar and talk til two
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what weve been
through
Cath:
Our love is rare
Flo:
and life is strange
Cath:
Nothing lasts
Flo:
people change
Flo:
And I ask her if her life is ever lonely
Cath:
And if she ever feels despair

Flo:
And she says shes learned to love it
Cath:
cause thats really all part of it
Ensemble:
And it helps her feel the good times
when theyre there
Ensemble:
Yes, we sit in a bar and talk til two
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what weve been
through
Flo:
Our love is rare
Cath:
and life is strange
Flo:
Nothing lasts
Cath:
people change
Ensemble:
And we wonder if Ill live with any lovers
Or spend my life alone
And the bartender is dozin
And its getting time for closin
And we figure that Ill go out on my own
Ensemble:
But well meet the year were 62
And travel the world as old friends do
And tell each other what weve been
through
How love is rare and life is strange
Nothing lasts and people change
Ensemble (harmo):
Love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
