As I am strolling down the garden path
I saw a flower glowing in the dark
It looked so pretty and it was unique
I had to bend down just to have a peek

Hello, old friend (hello, old friend)
Really good to see you once again
Hello, old friend (hello, old friend)
Really good to (see you once again, ah, ah)

I saw you walking underneath the stars
I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are

Hello, old friend (hello, old friend)
It's really good to see you once again
Hello, old friend (hello, old friend)
Really good to (see you once again, ah, ah)

An old man passed me on the street today
I thought I knew him but I couldn't say
I stopped to think if I could place his frame
When he tipped his hat I knew his name

Hello, old friend (hello,old friend)
It's really good to see you once again
Hello, old friend (hello, old friend)
Really good to (see you once again, ah, ah)

Hello, old friend (hello, old friend)
It's really good to see you once again
Hello, old friend (hello, old friend)
Really good to see you (once again)
