I need to know if you’re my true friend*
will you be by my side until the end?
Can I tell you my secrets deep*
and trust them in your heart you’ll keep?
We are neither of us without our flaws*
can you accept mine as I will yours?
I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re blue*
will you be there for me when I need you?
No matter how busy I will make time for you*
if you are busy will you make time for me too?
I will take your hand and comfort your tears*
will you hold me and soothe my fears?
I will give you joy and many warm smiles*
can we share that even across many miles?
I will not forget what’s important to you*
will you remember what’s important to me too?
With you my most favorite things I’ll share*
If only I know do you truly care?
If you can accept me as I do you*
then I will know you are a friend most true.
There is a miracle called Friendship
that dwells within the heart
and you don't know how it happens
or when it even starts.
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
and you realize that Friendship
is God's most precious gift
I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be;
I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant* old friend of mine*
to me along the way.
I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you*
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;
I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard*
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.
I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me*
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;
I'd like to make you feel as rich as I*
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon.
I'm wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you've strewn along my way;
And could I have one wish this year*
this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me...
