Friends help each other out
That’s what it’s about, and you must have known
Friends lend a helping hand
Even if you planned to go it alone.
And when all the world seems lonesome and gray,
Friends let you know they’re here to stay.
You never leave me sad
You’re the truest friend that I ever had.
Friends never tell a lie
Even if they try to hide the truth
Friends have a certain way
Of knowing what to say when you’re losing your youth.
Again, even if you stray from the herd
Friends bring you back with kindly words.
You always make me glad
You’re the truest friend this old fool ever had.
