A Friend Beside You

Let me be the friend that loves you
When the skies are grey
Let me be the friend beside you
On a rainy day.
Many others want your friendship
Love you when you are glad
Let me be the one that cheers you
When you are feeling sad.

Others see the mask of gladness
That you always wear
But the briefly hidden heartache
To what I would share.
Bring me all the frets and troubles
For what're betide
Calls are halved and joys grow double
With a friend beside.
