A friend will stand the test of time,
A friend will swap their trust for mine.

A friend will stay on-board when my ship is sinking,
A friend will know when unhappy thoughts I'm thinking.

A friend won't forget me when excitement comes along,
A friend knows my heart and all the words to it's song.

A friend will comfort when each new day I fear,
This friend has stood by me through a difficult past year.
