[ Featuring Michael Feinstein ]
Love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
Every time I lost another lover
I call up my old friend
And I say let's get together
I'm under the weather
Another love has come to an end
And she listens as I tell her my sad story
And wonders at my taste in friends
And we ponder why I do it
And the pain of getting through it
And she laughs and says, "You'll do it again"
But we sit in a bar and talk till two
'Bout life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
Our love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
And I ask her if her life is ever lonely
And if she ever feels despair
And she says she's learn to love it
Cause that's really all part of it
And it helps her feel the good time when they're there
Yes, we sit in a bar and talk till two
About life and love as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
Our love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
And we wander if I live with any lovers
Or spent my life alone
And the bartender is dozing
And it's getting time for closing
So we figured that I'll go out on my own
But we'll meet the year was '62
And travel the world as old friends do
And tell each other what we've been through
Our love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
Love is rare, life is strange
Nothing lasts, people change
Old friend
