You Are My Friend lyrics

You are my friend,

I never knew it 'til then

My friend, my friend

You hold my hand,

You might not say a word

But I see your tears when I show my pain

You're my friend

I never knew it 'til then

My friend

I feel your love,

When you're not near

It helps me make it knowing you care

The thought of you helps me carry on

When I feel all hope is gone

I see the world with brand new eyes

Your love has made me realize

My future looks bright to me,

Oh because you are my friend

Da, da, da, da [ad lib]

I've been looking around and you were here all the time.

Da, da, da [ad lib]

I've been around and around and around and around

Da, da, da

I've been looking around and you were here all the time

[Repeat]
