What a friend you are to me, br as you always are these days. br You've touched my heart and changed my soul, br in so many amazing ways. br br What a friend you are to me, br to catch my tears while they fall. br Your shoulder is wet, but I haven't seen yet, br a complaint from you at all. br br What a friend you are to me, br to support me every time. br Even when I'm wrong as dirt. br You let me learn, and trust I'll be fine. br br What a friend you are to me, br to pick me up off the ground. br For in my clumsy, foolish ways, br right there, my place is surely found. br br What a friend you are to me, br to forgive quickly and me never say a word br For I rarely beg forgivness, br and the word, for you, is rarely heard. br br What a friend you are to me, br to simply be my friend br even when a thanks is the last thing on my lips. br you're surely there till the end.
