IT IS SAID THAT ALL THROUGH LIFE,
YOU CAN COUNT REAL FRIENDS ON ONE HAND,
AND AS I VENTURE THROUGH THE VALLEYS OF MINE,
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PLAN...
TO MAKE AS MANYS FRIENDS AS I CAN,
AND BE TRUE TO EVERY ONE,
I PROMISE TO ALWAYS BE THERE,
TO LISTEN AND HOLD A HAND...
IF YOU NEED A SHOULDER TO CRY ON,
OR JUST TO LAUGH AND PLAY,
I PROMISE I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU,
BY YOUR SIDE IS WHERE I'LL STAY...
WHEN YOU NEED TO TALK OR GET ADVICE,
I'LL TRY MY BEST TO PROVIDE,
I PROMISE TO BE WITH YOU,
IF YOU HAVE A SECRET YOU NEED TO CONFIDE...
AND ON THOSE DAYS WHEN YOU ARE BLUE,
AND DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO TURN,
I PROMISE I'LL TRY TO SHOW YOU THE WAY,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY CONCERN...
SO LET ME TELL YOU FRIEND,
IF YOU ARE NUMBER ONE OR A HUNDRED AND ONE,
I PROMISE TO BE THE BEST FRIEND I CAN,
AND NO COUNTING WILL BE DONE...
AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE,
AND ON YOUR FINGERS YOU CAN NO LONGER COUNT,
TO ADD UP ALL THE FRIENDS YOU HAVE,
I PROMISE TO BE THERE WITHOUT A DOUBT...
FORE EACH OF MY FRIENDS ARE SPECIAL,
ONE OF A KIND ARE ALL,
AND AS LONG AS I HAVE EACH OF YOU,
I PROMISE TO CHERISH YOU ALL.
THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND
