- Make new friends but keep the old,
- One is silver and the other gold.
A circle's round, it has no end, - That's how long I want to be your friend.
Thanks very much to Alison Inglis, who sent me this
third verse!
- I have a hand, and you have another,
- Put them together and we have each other.
Thanks to Liz Watts, from Troops 783 and 923, Thousand
Oaks, Tres Condados Girl Scout Council, California, for even more verses!
- Sow good friends wherever you may roam,
- You'll be welcome in my heart and home.
You help me and I'll help you, - And together we will make it through.
A fire burns bright, it warms the heart, - We've been friends right from the very start.

- Friends like you are one of a kind,
- Very special, but hard to find.
Friends are real and friends are true, - If you love them they will love you too.
Cherish friendship in your breast- New is good, but old is best;
Across the miles, across the sea- Friends forever we will always be.
Make new friends, but keep the old:- Those are silver, these are gold

Thanks very much to Elaine Covert, who sent me the

Un cercle est ronde, il n'a pas de fin,- Voici combien de temps je veux etre ton ami.
