Because You are a Friend of Mine
May sunny days and velvet nights
find you love and give you life
Drink from the fountain of time and delight
because you are a friend of mine
Wings of angels dry your tears
Songs of sparrows fill your ears
the smallest of problems be yours through the years
because you are a friend of mine
Keep a smile of sunshine on your lips
the sparkle of a rainbow in your eyes
love the people all around you
and I know that you’ll get by
Take your youth and spend it well
although sometimes it feels like hell
The love through your life may it ring like a bell
because you are a friend of mine
You must be strong throughout the day
we all need someone this I can say
I wish you these things in your own special way
because you are a friend of mine
