Friends In Love
Sometimes, lonely nights turn into sunny days.
I never thought I’d feel this way, I never knew
That you and I were meant to be in love.
Oh darling, you’ve always been around to see me through.
How was I to know you make my dreams come true?
Time and time again we fall, always on our own.
But now we’re friends in love.
Hoping that we always will be friends in love.
Strong when we’re together.
Darling now we’ve got forever and a day.
Don’t you go away.
Remember, every time I cried you came to me.
Oh much to my surprise I found someone who could see,
Through the nights of loneliness.
You were always there for me.
We’re friends in love.
Hoping that we always will be friends in love.
Strong when we’re together.
Darling now we’ve got forever and a day.
Don’t you go away.
You turn around, looked my way,
I can’t say that it hasn’t crossed my mind.
I’d loved you all along.
And now we’re leaving yesterday behind.
We’ll never be alone.
Friends in love.
Hoping that we always will be friends in love.
Strong when we’re together.
Darling now we’ve got forever and a day.
Don’t you go away.
You and I are friends in love.
Hoping that we always will be friends in love.
Strong when we’re together.
Darling now we’ve got forever and a day.
**This song really touches my heart. Dean and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in Maine in 1988 and this song serenaded us on our road trip through the state.

Johnny Mathis and Dionne Warwick have shared a long history of mutual love and
appreciation, and a friendship that has endured for many, many years. They have
performed in concert together, they have performed on television together, and
they have attended each other's concert engagements! "Friends In Love" was
the perfect duet for them to record, and their single of it enjoyed a
Billboard Top 40 position in 1982. Billboard wrote of this single: "Two of the
classiest performers of our time join forces for the first time on this rhythm ballad ...
Mathis and Warwick are the Fonda and Hepburn of pop music." A full-page
Arista advertisement for "Friends In Love" in Billboard featured a gorgeous
double portrait of the two artists in sepia tone ... with the headline: Two Legends
In An Historic Duet.
My sincere thanks to Maria Niemela for this background information on
"Friends In Love". Click on her name for "The Johnny Mathis Archives".
