Should old acquaintance be forgotten
For times gone by

For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by
We will take a cup of kindness yet

And give me a hand of yours
And we will take of a goodwill drink

For times gone by, my dear
For times gone by
We will take a cup of kindness yet
For times gone by
