When the world is coming down on me
as if it's all going to end
And when I need someone to talk to
you are always there, my friend.

When I am lost and feeling alone
and no one seems to care
I call you up and talk to you
because you are always there.

When I'm upset and feeling down
I need a shoulder to cry on
You grab my hand, you're always there
and you're someone I rely on.

Whenever things are going wrong
I know you really care
Because the times when I need you most
I find you are always there.

"I wrote this for a special friend of mine, who to this day has always meant something special to me.  We were best friends for a time when we were 16 and 17, till we drifted apart.  She was my Maid of Honour at my first wedding.  And after many years of lost contact thanks to the beauty of e-mail we are again in contact.   You know who you are.   {{{{{{Hugs}}}}}"
