Old Friends [2023 Broadway Cast Recording]

Stephen Sondheim

Hey
Here's to us
Who's like us?
Damn few

Hey, old friend
Are you okay, old friend?
What do you say, old friend?
Are we or are we unique?

Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I
We get continued next week

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure, they'll do
But us, old friend
What's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us
Who's like us?
Damn few

So, old friends
Fill me in slow, old friend
Start from hello, old friend
I want the when, where, and how
Old friends
Do tend to become old habit
Never knew
How much I missed you 'til now

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
Some of them worth something, too
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?

Tell you somethin':
Good friends point out your lies
Whereas old friends live and let live

Good friends like and advise
Whereas old friends love and forgive

And old friends let you go your own way

Help you find your own way

Let you off when you're wrong

If you're wrong

When you're wrong

Right or wrong, the point is:
Old friends shouldn't care if you're wrong

Should, but not for too long

What's too long?

If you're wrong!

When you're wrong!

The thing is:
Old friends do leave their brands on you
But old friends shouldn't compete

Old friends don't make demands on you

Should make demands on you

Well, don't make demands you can't meet

Well, what's the
Point of demands you can meet?

Well, there's a time for demands
Whether you meet them or not

Ahh
Hey, old friends
How do we stay old friends?
Who is to say, old friends
How an old friendship survives?
One day chums
Having a laugh a minute
One day comes
And they're a part of your lives

New friends pour
Through the revolving door
Maybe there's one that's more
If you find one, that'll do
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us
Who's like us?

Two old friends
Fewer won't do, old friends
Gotta have two old friends
Helping you balance along
One upbraids you
For your faults and fancies
One persuades you
That the other one's wrong

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
Perfect as long as they're new
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few
