(Eric Clapton)

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.

[Chorus:]

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.

[Chorus]

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]
