Love has been a friend to me A friend my whole life through Always saw the best in me As only friends will do. It was young when I was young And both of us were blind We made it through the careless years Love has been a friend of mine. Love has been a friend to me Companions of the heart Following where passion leads We learn what fools we are. Even when it breaks my heart And hope is hard to find I still remember all the ways Love has been a friend of mine. In a world everchanging Ev'ry season must end Love makes only one promise It will find you again. I remember ev'ry word That love has ever said To a perfect melody Running through my head. On a not too far tomorrow I'll sing back ev'ry line The title of my song will be Love has been a friend of mine. Love is happiness and sorrow It's ev'rything in time Through it all I'm glad to say Love has been a friend of mine
