Lyrics
This song came along at a time when I really
Needed the song to help me through some troubled times
And at a time when I really believed in what I was writing
So the song is special to me
I'll need time to get you off my mind
And I may sometimes bother you
Try to be in touch with you
Even ask too much of you from time to time
Now and then
Lord, you know I'll need a friend
Till I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you
Till I can make it on my own
I'll get by
But no matter how I try
There'll be times you know I'll call
Chances are my tears will fall
And I'll have no pride at all, from time to time
But they say
Oh, there'll be a brighter day
But till then, I'll lean on you
That's all I mean to do
Till I can never make it on my own
Surely someday, I'll look up and see the morning sun
Without another lonely night behind me
Then I'll know I'm over you and all my crying's done
No more hurting memories can find me
But till then
Lord, you know I'm gonna need a friend
Till I get used to losing you
Let me keep on using you, till I can make it on my own
Till I can make it on my own
