Friend to Friend
In the quiet of my mind
I think of you.
Wondering what a friend
Is supposed to do.
If I could ease your pain
I surely would.
My heart breaks for you,
Can't you see?

You don't have to say a word.
Don't stop my tears.
I feel so all alone,
I need to know you care.
Don't be afraid,
Just let me talk.
I need the touch of your hand.
Can't you see?

Say my loved one's name.
Ask me how I am.
Don't assume my griefs over
When we know it's not.
And with your help,
I know I'll make it through.
I need you more than ever.
Can't you see?

I'll cry with you.
I'll laugh with you;
I'll do the things
You teach me to do.
My fear is that I may
Cause you more pain.
My arms are around you.
Can't you see?
