As I was strolling down the garden path 
        D      C               G 
I saw a flower glowing in the dark 
             D      C           G 
It looked so pretty and it was unique 
         D         C              G 
I had to bend down just to have a peek 
 
CHORUS 
          Bm7               Am7 
Hello old friend (hello old friend) 
     C              D             G 
It's really good to see you once again 
          Bm7 
Hello old friend  (hello old friend) 
     C              D             G 
It's really good to see you once again 
 

G      C      D 

G      C      D 
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 
 
CHORUS 

 
SOLO 
G      C      D 

G      C      D 
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 
 
CHORUS 2x 
 
end on 
G
