We go through life
And share with friends
Our journey's through the years
They're here with us
In times of need
To share our sorrows and our fears
And when you lose a friend
Who's meant so much
Who was there to share your past
Now although they're gone
And you feel so lost
They're memory and love still lasts

(Chorus)
New friends are silver
And old friends are gold
And the memories you have of them
Can never grow old
You remember the good times
That you shared long ago
Yes new friends are silver
But old friends are gold

(Musical Break)

Although life goes on
New friends come and go
Yet things are never quite the same
That special bond you had with someone
Just never seems to come again
But I'm thankful for the memories
And all the love my heart still holds
For my new friends who are silver
And my old friends who are gold

(Chorus)
New friends are silver
And old friends are gold
And the memories you have of them
Can never grow old
You remember the good times
That you shared long ago
Yes new friends are silver
But old friends are gold

New friends are silver
And old friends are gold
