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,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
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,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
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,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.
Hello old friend,
It's really good to see you once again.

This song started making me nostalgic for high school friends in my mid 20s. At 63, it kind of tears my heart up a bit.

This song brings back great memories of my young life as a teenager
living in the 70s..

I was born 1998, but this song is so nostalgic and it makes me want to be part of seventies...
Also, this lady’s vocals are the best I have ever heard. Ty dr Clapton.

His addiction was in full force during this period, you can see it had a grip on him. But I think we are all happy that he came out of it alive, many didn't.

I can take Eric any time, any where -- His talent is unquestionable - Great Song
