Company/Old Friends Lyrics > Sondheim on Sondheim

[COMPANY]
Phone rings
Door chimes
In comes company!
No strings
Good times
Just chums, company!
Late nights
Quick bites
Party games
Deep talks
Long walks
Telephone calls
Thoughts shared
Souls bared
Private names
All those
Photos
Up on the walls
"With love..."

With love filling the days
With love seventy ways
"To Bobby with love"
From all these
Good and crazy people, your friends
Hey, old friend
These good and crazy people, your married friends!
Are you okay, old friend?
How do we stay old friends

Who is to say, old friend
Are you okay, old fri?nd?
What do you say, old friend?
Are we or ar? we unique?

Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I
We get continued next week

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure, they'll do
But us, old friend
What's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us—
Who's like us?
Damn few!
