Good question Kes to which I've never given much thought before, probably because I've never seen all the words before and just sung along with the familiar bit like 99.9999999% of everybody else!

Thanks for posting the text, I think it says we shouldn't forget old friends even though we might be apart, and when we meet we'll have a drink and think of days gone by.

My sentiments exactly.

Anyway here's wishing you a Happy New Year...
