a friend to me

well you and i

we're buddies

and we've been since we first met

me and you

well we've sure been through

our share of laughter and regret

lord knows we've had our bad days

and more than once we've disagreed

but you've always been a friend to me

you can be so stubborn

there's times i think you just like to fight

and i hope and pray

i live to see a day

when you say i might be right

and there's times i'd rather kill you

than listen to your honesty

but you've always been a friend to me

you've always been

time and again

the one to take my hand

and show to me it's okay to be

just the way i am

with no apology

oh you've always been

and you will 'til god knows when

yes you've always been a friend to me
