about

Two old friends meet again after many years. They realize their lives have not turned out the way they dreamed of when they were younger. The great love was never found; childless and on their own, they live their simple, modest lives.
It is a song about the indomitable power of true friendship and how it's never too late to return to the people you love. No matter how far you have gone wrong.

lyrics

For Old Times‘ Sake

Hello, my dear friend
Long time no see
Sit down at my table
I thought you’d forgotten me

Come, let’s have a beer
And tell me how you have been
I know we have changed
But not this feeling within

And for old times‘ sake
Let’s walk down these streets
They’re soaked with our past
Full of memories

And for old times‘ sake
Let’s sit down again
And talk about our plans
Our worries and pain
For old times‘ sake

Tell me all about the children
That you never had
And tell me all about the sorries
That you have never said

And tell me all about your plans
You planned but stayed plans
And tell me all about the times
You planned them again

And for old times‘ sake
Let the future be bright
Let us wander in hope
Through this glorious night
For old times‘ sake

O my dear friend
If you have to go
I want you to know
This house is your home
And when you’re out there alone
Stumbling on down your path, you know
You can always come back
