Al Jarreau - My Old Friend Lyrics






I can recall those warm summer days.
No decisions. Child's play.
Did they slip away?
Gone forever. Gone forever.
Lost to yesterday.

From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend.
True until the end of time.

As I walk down streets
full of amber leaves
I see nothing's really
changed at all.
We're just older now.
Still together,still together
after all these years.

From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend.
True until the end of time.

From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time.

  79. F.... G....

    been listening to him all my life. I didn't even know he had passed. His music is the type you listen to when you're relaxing , when you're down, it's gets you through it all. He will be greatly missed, his music lives on. Al, you are LEGEND. My favorite jazz singer of all time, one of my favorites overall.

  80. E.... B....

    I love this song it so beautiful

  81. K.... S....

    I love his voice and songs al jarreau live on in our 💕

  82. P.... R....

    Jay Graydon much love man! You are the man behind this music and production.. You're a monster

  83. e.... ....

    I was introduced to his voice when I was about 21 from an older boyfriend. I fell in love with his voice and his style which was so unique. I realized that he was someone very gifted and that he was one of a kind. I am a music lover and a singer. I've heard a lot of voices and styles, but never will there be another AL Jarreau. I thank him for leaving this collection of his wondrrful music for us to hear. May he be I'm a happy place.

  84. a.... b....

    This is one of my favorite songs this brother made love making music for sure.

  85. G.... R....

    Descansa en Paz Mi Viejo Amigo Al Jarreau (1940-2017)

  86. M.... M....

    I swear, my dad makes a whole religion outta this song.

  87. H.... j....

    beautiful work by Jerry Hey on the flugelhorn

  88. I.... ....

    Saxophonist Najee has this song on his 1990 album Tokyo Blue, but I always thought it was original...til' I stumble across this. Even though I know the album, this track totally missed my radar. With Graydon producing, coupling with the inseparable duo Richard Page and Steve George on backing vocals, this song has an amazing feel, you just can't go wrong with this team. Jazz mixed with AOR at it's peak of quality!

  89. p.... c....

    I saw him in concert just after the release of High Crime, and it was a fabulous show. My first album purchase was in 1982 after hearing it at a "record store". He will be missed, but he lives in those of us who love his music. Godspeed, Alonzo.

  90. R.... R....

    My Best Friend is my wife

  91. g.... r....

    I love your music. So spiritual, energetic, uplilifting. Your musical has been my saviour.

  92. s.... ....

    Grande Jarreau¡¡.Ahora,descansa en paz.

  93. W.... ....

    What a great song by a musical legend. Jarreau has one of those totally unique voices that is instantly recognisable, and almost impossible to imitate.
    Interesting to note this song was penned by George, Lang and Page of Mr Mister.

  94. K.... i....

    DAM I MISS HIM ALREADY. 😧

  95. J.... J....

  96. R.... W....

    yaers after i reconnected with some friends after hearing back this song. thk,s Al

  97. M.... M....
