TIES THAT BIND
Oh there’s nothing like the eyes of an old friend
You haven’t seen since you can’t remember when
All those years of joy and pain
We can live them all again
Just take one look into the eyes of an old friend
Oh there’s nothing like the touch of an old friend
You haven’t seen in you can’t remember when
The touch that says, “I know you well,
We’ve been through love, we’ve been through hell”
Oh there’s nothing like the touch of an old friend
CHORUS
Ties that bind, ties that bind
Friends who are the lasting kind
The road you travel may wander and wind
You’re not alone when you’ve got
The ties that bind
Oh there’s nothing like the voice of an old friend
You haven’t heard since you can’t remember when
Words unspoken, yet so clear
Only you alone can hear them
When they’re spoken by the voice of an old friend
And there’s nothing like the sound of an old song
You haven’t heard in you can’t remember when
Songs of struggles lost and won
Just the ones we sang for fun
Oh there’s nothing like the sound of an old song
