[Verse 1]
     A     D    E         A
Old friend, you just grow dearer,
          E      A
the lines   grow deeper,
    E          A
the paths grow clearer
D    A        E     A
I recall your every look,
             E         A
each of them   an open book

[Chorus]
                D             A
And though long miles may separate us
        E         A
my love for you endures
            D           A
With warm regard and in fond affection,
  E        A
I am truly yours

[Verse 2]
    A             D       E      A
Old friend, we've seen so much together,
            E           A
stormy days   and windy weather
    D    A       D     E       A    E
And like a cloak   against the cold
              E        A
I wrap myself in friendship's folds

[Chorus]
                D             A
And though long miles may separate us,
        E         A
my love for you endures
            D           A
With warm regard and in fond affection,
  E        A
I am truly yours

[Verse 3]
    A            D        E      A
Old friends like warp and woof entwine,
                E            A
each crossing defining the design
    A         D      E      A   E
And though in places frayed and worn,
             E     A
the fabric remains untorn

[Chorus]
                D             A
And though long miles may separate us,
        E         A
my love for you endures
            D           A
With warm regard and in fond affection,
  E        A
I am truly yours

[Outro]
            D           A
With warm regard and in fond affection,
  E        A
I am truly yours
