You are my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend
You hold my hand
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my pain
You are my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love when you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care
The thought of you helps me carry on
When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world with brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me all because...
You are my friend
(You are my friend)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I've been around, I've been around
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I've been around, and around
I've been looking around, oh
You know what I've been doing and, uh
Been here all the time
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Round and around and around
Oh, mmmm, you were here all the time
Round and around and around and around
Oh, I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend
You hold my hand
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my pain
You are my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love when you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care
The thought of you helps me carry on
When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world with brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me all because...
You are my friend
(You are my friend)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I've been around, I've been around
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I've been around, and around
I've been looking around, oh
You know what I've been doing and, uh
Been here all the time
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Round and around and around
Oh, mmmm, you were here all the time
Round and around and around and around
Oh, I've been looking around and you were here all the time
