about

For Sherri - an overdue tribute to a long ago lover and a dear old friend

lyrics

Words & music A. McKnight, ©1999 Catalooch Music, BMI

Verse 1
I didn't know how to love you, did not know how to touch,
I never would have dreamed I'd ever learn so much
I couldn't quiet your demons, could not survive your doubt
but that battle taught us both what all the fighting was about

Chorus
We are old friends now, doing the best that we can do
come a long way somehow, since we were 22

Verse 2
It seems so long behind me, left us bobbing in my wake
and that still floats in my memories with all my big mistakes
but I never will regret you, and I never will forget
the part of you that comes along with everything I am

Chorus

Bridge
phone calls and letters run like threads through the years
the tapestry they weave is one that I hold dear

Verse 3
20 years into the future, our hair is all gone gray
we've both acquired a little bit of wisdom on the way
like what faith and hope and love are, the pure ringing tones of truth,
and I've never lost those lessons you taught me in my youth

Chorus
We are old friends now, done the best that we could do
come a long way somehow, to get to 2022
here in 2022, since we were 22
