Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Debbie, you know I really treasure your friendship
And I really treasure yours, Bobby
You know, good friendships are hard to find these days, in the 90's
Yes, they are
I'm glad I got a friend in you
Hey, I'll be there
[Verse 2]
And did you know, Bobby, a friend sticks closer than a brother?
Yeah, Debbie, and that's what I call a, a true friendship
Well, can we sing about this?
Let's do it
I would love to
[Verse 3]
I promise to stay through the rain
And I told you I'd stick close through the pain
Didn't I say?
[Verse 4]
I promise to go the extra mile
And when you're feeling sad will volunteer
The smile
[Verse 5]
'Cause I'm your friend (Your friend)
And I'm there
Just say when (Now and forever)
[Verse 6]
Yes, I'm your friend (Your friend)
And I will love you
Till the end
[Verse 7]
Now even though they'll be times
We won't agree
But the love we share, I know will always be
(Glad that we are friends)
[Verse 8]
I will tell you when right
And yes, when wrong (Yes, when wrong)
'Cause it's the truth I love and always take along (Always)
[Verse 9]
'Cause I'm your friend (I'm your friend)
And I'm there
Just say when (Love you forever)
[Verse 10]
I'm your friend (I'm your friend)
And I will love you
Till the end
[Verse 11]
You can count on me, baby (I'm your friend)
Yes, I'll be there
Just say when (Love you forever)
[Verse 12]
I'm your friend (I'm your friend)
And I will love you
Till the end
[Verse 13]
For we know love is patient
And love is kind, yeah
Yeah, this friendship I treasure
God gave is mine
He made us friends
And I will love you
Till the end
[Verse 14]
(We just made it through the rain)
I'ma sing through the rain
Yeah (Glad that we are friends)
[Verse 15]
But you know that I'ma be there, right?
I know you will
Yeah, right
You know I'ma be there, right?
You better be there
I, I gotta be
You know why, right?
Yeah
Why?
Because, this
[Verse 16]
For we know love is patient
And love is kind
This friendship I treasure
So glad is mine
And He made us friends (Yes, he did)
And I will love you
Till the end
[Verse 17]
You can count on me, my friend
And I'll be there
And I'll tell you when
[Verse 18]
(Love me forever) Yes, I'll love you forever
(I'm your friend) And forever and ever
'Cause I am your friend, yeah
