Only a friend will walk
That extra mile to help you out,
Only a friend understands
You, and what you're about.
Only a friend will cry with you
When you're hurting deep inside,
Only a friend will secure a secret
That you prefer to hide.
If the sun didn't rise in the morning
And black clouds covered above,
Only a friend could turn the sky to blue
With warm words and a show of love.
Only a friend will stand beside you
Even though you're miles away,
Only a friend knows how to make you smile
To help you through the day.
Only a friend will take the time
To listen to what's been said,
Or place themselves in front of you
If you fear what lies ahead.
Only a friend will do all this
In their heart there's a message they send,
I'll always be here when you need me
Because you, "you're my best friend".
