From my personal favorite concert in Central Park, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel singing Old Friends. The vocals are just amazing.Someone requested the lyrics, so here they are:OLD FRIENDS LYRICS:Old friends,Old friendsSat on their park benchLike bookends.A newspaper blown though the grassFalls on the round toesOf the high shoesOf the old friends.Old friends,Winter companions,The old menLost in their overcoats,Waiting for the sunset.The sounds of the city,Sifting through trees,Settle like dustOn the shouldersOf the old friends.Can you imagine usYears from today,Sharing a park bench quietly?How terribly strangeTo be seventy.Old friends,Memory brushes the same yearsSilently sharing the same fearsBOOKENDS LYRICS:Time it was and what a time it was it was,A time of innocence a time of confidences.Long ago it must be, I have a photographPreserve your memories, theyre all thats left you59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY) LYRICS:Slow down, you move too fast.You got to make the morning last.Just kicking down the cobble stones.Looking for fun and feelin' groovy.Ba da, Ba da, Ba da, Ba da...Feelin' Groovy.Hello lamp-post,What cha knowin'?I've come to watch your flowers growin'.Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?Doot-in' doo-doo,Feelin' groovy.I've got no deeds to do,No promises to keep.I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep.Let the morning time drop all its petals on me.Life, I love you,All is groovy.

The meaning of it is, when you're young you just can't imagine how it is to be old. So it must be really strange.

Sometimes a photograph is enough. The most valuable thing is on your mind.

The reality is that we all getting closer ... -sighs- ... how time does fly! Friends as with life, should not be taken for granted. The lyrics of Bookends always brings tears to my face. "Time it was and what a time it was, A time of innocence a time of confidences. Long ago it must be, I have a photograph. Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you."For those of us who've lost someone, sometimes all we have left is a photograph.

Such a shame that life is so full of negative crap these days....it would be nice if times were more about peace and just enjoying nature and our friends and family.
