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
my  dear old friend
