Friend

"FRIEND"

IN THIS WORLD OF CHANGING WAYS, WE HAVE FRIENDSHIPS THAT COME AND GO.
AND AS THE FRIEND I AM WITH YOU, MY FEELINGS CAN'T HELP BUT SHOW.
I WANT TO MAKE IT SIMPLE, AND KEEP IT YET SINCERE,
TO LET YOU KNOW A FRIEND LIKE YOU IS SOMETHING I HOLD DEAR.

YOU GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO KNOW YOU IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS,
AND WITH A THOUGHT OF YOU ON MIND MY WORDS HAVE THIS TO SAY:
A FRIEND IS SOMEONE SPECIAL, LIKE A CANDLE IN THE DARK.
THEY GIVE YOU A FEELING OF WARMTH AND TRUST, ON ME YOU LEFT THAT MARK.

ONCE YOU MAKE A FRIEND, DON'T EVER LET THEM GO.
FOR LIKE A PLANT, WITH LOVE AND CARE THE MAGIC IS HOW THEY GROW.
A FRIEND IS LIKE THE SUNSHINE THAT BREAKS A CLOUDY DAY,
A WARM VOICE ON THE TELEPHONE THAT BRINGS THESE WORDS YOUR WAY.

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO SAY TO GIVE MY MESSAGE AN END
TO YOU I SENT THE WARMEST THANKS, FOR IN YOU I FOUND A FRIEND.
