[Verse 1]
Seeing that your love's true
Never I'll doubt you
My heart belongs to you
That's alright with me
Worlds could end around me
So in love that I can't see
You and me were meant to be
That's alright with me
[Chorus 1]
Friends come and friends may go
My friend, you're real I know
True self you have shown
You're alright with me
Through thick and thick to thin
I'll love you 'til the end
You know it's true my friend
You're alright with me
Friends come and friends may go
My friend, you're real I know
True self you have shown
You're alright with me

[Verse 2]
Catch a fallin' star that shines
Make a wish clap three times
Dreams come true it's in the mind
That's alright with me
Your wish is my command
Never thought I'd fall in love again
Again with my best friend
That's alright with me
[Chorus 2]
Friends come and friends may go
My friend, you're real I know
True self you have shown
You're alright with me
