Closer Than a Brother

I've been a lot of places I've seen a lot of faces I've parted bread with many And said my graces But had it not been for you, my friend I would not have known life and What beauty in it abides You've comforted me when I was down You've listen without a sound I could never repay your kindness To my faults complete blindness You've always been at arms length In you, I've found new strength Caring, sharing, never judgmental You wiped my tears With hands ever so gentle You've elevated me to new heights Through you, my friend I've seen brighter skies There clings a friend closer than a brother Like you, I know God has not made another
