What is a friend?
To me: someone who understands
Someone who’d cross the world for you
And sometimes when I feel blue
He can always make me smile
And understandably, it takes a while
Before one to call a friend
But after all and in the end
Doing things, being there
Are sings to show he really cares
A helping hand, a listening ear
Such friendship is to me most dear
He calls you up to have a chat
And never has to regret
‘Cause when I want to be alone
He’ll just hang up the phone
Never to have any fight
Kill the darkness with his light
Taking those thick clouds away
Even be prepared to stay
Making time for one and still
Be ready to pay every bill
Money doesn’t matter, don’t give a damn
All I want is to have fun whenever I can
If my friend feels the same way
Oh, I’ll ask him to stay
In rough times, don’t leave our joy behind
‘Cause in the end we will both find
A friendship lasting for eternity
And what having a friend means to me
To me, my friend, it means to live
And to be able to receive and give
If you feel the same, please take my hand
‘Cause that makes you, my eternal friend
