Lyrics
You are my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend
You hold my hand
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my pain
You're--- my, my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love
When you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care
The thought of you helps me carry on
When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world wit brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me,
Oh because you are my friend
Da, da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Da, da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
