[Verse 1]
So get that hurt look off your face
No need to be alarmed
I was only tryin' not to lose my place
I didn't mean no harm
[Verse 2]
This place we've come to, it's a brand-new world
With a whole new set of rules
And I'm not complainin' and I ain't enraged
Just a bit confused
[Chorus]
Would you be my friend through the ages?
Watch the decades driftin' by?
And read to me from dusty pages all the echoes of our lives?
[Verse 3]
You'd fold the napkins, sittin' on the stairs
Through the afternoon
And I'd sit there watchin' 'til you'd stack the chairs
From across the room
[Verse 4]
I kept your letters in my file
Kept 'em safe and sound
And I read back through 'em once in a while
When there's no one else around
So get that hurt look off your face
No need to be alarmed
I was only tryin' not to lose my place
I didn't mean no harm
[Verse 2]
This place we've come to, it's a brand-new world
With a whole new set of rules
And I'm not complainin' and I ain't enraged
Just a bit confused
[Chorus]
Would you be my friend through the ages?
Watch the decades driftin' by?
And read to me from dusty pages all the echoes of our lives?
[Verse 3]
You'd fold the napkins, sittin' on the stairs
Through the afternoon
And I'd sit there watchin' 'til you'd stack the chairs
From across the room
[Verse 4]
I kept your letters in my file
Kept 'em safe and sound
And I read back through 'em once in a while
When there's no one else around
