There's No Love Like
The Old Love.

There's no friend like the old friend,
Who has shared our morning days;
No greeting like his welcome,
No homage like his praise!
Fame is the soentless sunfower,
With gaudy crown of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose,
With sweets in every folG.
There's no love like the old love,
That we courted in our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, falling,
And we're fading side by side.
There are blossoms all around US,
With the colors of our dawn,
And we live in borrowed sunshine
When the light of day is gone!
