Friend, did I ever tell you,
how much you mean to me?
you're a special part of me.
You listen when I'm hurting.
You're there when I'm down and out.
You listen when I rattle about
things you know nothing about.

You always reach out,
to lend a helping hand.
Never get upset when I make a demand.
You'll come in the night or
at the crack of dawn.
Never complain or falter when I call.
You're always there, that famous grin,
giving of yourself to your friend.

You're true and mean the world to me,
I couldn't imagine life without
"you and me" friend.
You're "special", one of a kind.
I'm glad you are a friend of mine.
