~That's What Friends Are For~

Friends are like music, Sometimes they're sad. Sometimes they're lonely And need to be told that they're loved. Everyone needs to be loved.

Friends are like good wine And I've had the best. Don't always show it But no one knows better than I.

So drink up. I'm a homesick old sailor Who longs for the sound of his own front door. Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs, And we'll have one more. Isn't that what friends are for... Isn't that what friends are for...

Friends are like warm clothes In the night air, Best when they're old And we miss them the most when they're gone... Miss them the most when they're gone.

Friends love your good side And live with your bad, Want you and need you When no one else knows you're alive.

So drink up. I'm a homesick old sailor Who longs for the sound of his own front door. Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs, And we'll have one more. Isn't that what friends are for... Isn't that what friends are for....
