A friend they are precious, more precious than gold
They'll always stand by you
And together grow old

A friend is someone who is there through thick and thin
You can always share your laughter
They open up their door and say "Come on in"

"Have a cuppa coffee, sit a little spell
Take the time to share with them
They listen very well

They're never too busy to point out the way
Their patience is long
They hear all that you say

They've been there forever, or so it seems
So entusiastic
When you share your dreams

When harsh words are spoken, forgiveness is there
They wrap their arms round you
And show you they care

When life seems too tough, and you're tired of the battle
Sharing your secrets
You know they won't tattle

Ask what you will, they'll give their all
They always come running
To answer your call

You know from the moment they walk in the room
The day will be brighter
No more filled with gloom

God knew I would need a dear friend so true
So He sent down an angel
And my friend that's YOU!
