Love Has Been a Friend to Me

Love has been a friend to me

A friend my whole life through

Always saw the best in me

As only friends will do

It was young when I was young

And both of us were blind

We made it through the careless years

Love has been a friend of mine

Love has been a friend to me

Companions of the heart

Following where passion leads

We learn what fools we are

Even when it breaks my heart

And hope is hard to find

I still remember all the ways

Love has been a friend of mine

In a world everchanging

Ev'ry season must end

Love makes only one promise

It will find you again

I remember ev'ry word

That love has ever said

To a perfect melody

Running through my head

On a not too far tomorrow I'll sing back ev'ry line

The title of my song will be

Love has been a friend of mine

Love is happiness and sorrow

It's ev'rything in time

Through it all I'm glad to say

Love has been a friend of mine
