There are people you meet on
the road of life
And you welcome them with
a smile
But after a time, they drift away
They can't go that "extra" mile.
And then there are others
who come along
And you're glad to have them near
But as soon as the going gets rough
they suddenly disappear.
But once in awhile you meet
someone,
Who's with you all the way.
Who cheers you up when
your spirits are low, and who
smiles when skies are grey.
Someone who helps you say
"So what " when your luck
goes down the drain.
And who trudges along, right
at your side ~ In the sunshine
and the rain.
Someone who has the secret of
showing  " I understand "
And who never fails ~ when
you need it most to lend
you a helping hand.
Someone who is ready and
willing To share whatever
they've got
And who doesn't try to apologize
If it isn't such a lot.
Someone who helps you to
believe that you're awfully
bright and clever.
And who makes you feel ~deep
down inside
That they'll be your friend forever.
That's the kind of friend you
hope against hope, will be
waiting around the bend,
And I know I was lucky when
I met you ~
" Cause you're just that kind
of friend ! "
