You Can’t Make Old Friends (with Kenny Rogers) – Dolly Parton
What will I do when you are gone?
Who’s gonna tell me the truth?
Who’s gonna finish the stories I start
The way you always do?
When somebody knocks at the door,
Someone new walks in
I will smile and shake their hands
But you can’t make old friends.
Chorus:
Can’t make old friends
Can’t make old friends
It was you and me, since way back when
But you can’t make old friends!
How will I sing when you are gone?
Cause it won’t sound the same
Who will join in on those so many parts
When I call your name?
Chorus:
I can’t make old friends
Can’t make old friends
It was you and me, since way back when
But you can’t make old friends.
When Saint Peter opens the gate
And you come walking in
I will be there just waiting for you
Cause you can’t make old friends!
You can’t make old friends! No!
When I am out on the stage all alone
And I hear the music begin
We all know the show must go on
But you can’t make old friends!
No, no!
Chorus:
You can’t make old friends
Can’t make old friends
And you and me, will be young again
You can’t make old friends!
You and me, will be together again
Cause we both know,
We will still be old friends!
You can’t make old friends
Not the way we have always been!
