Friends Like You

I have many friends who share my sorrow
Some are here today, and gone tomorrow
They listen , but, don't always hear
Always around but never near
They seem to never have a clue
Nothing like friends like you

Friends like you show you care
Friends like you let me share
Friends like you never judge
Friends like you don't hold a grudge
Friends like you keep my secrets
Friends like you have no regrets

My other friends turn their back
Many times they seem to lack
Many things they k=just can't say
Like how are you doing today?
It's always what they want to do
Nothing like friends like you

Friends like you, show up with tissues
Friends like you listen to all my issues
Freinds like you, let me cry it out
Friends like you know what it's all about
Friends like you forgive my mistakes
Friends like you have what it takes

My other friends never want to talk
Have some coffee, or take a walk
They live their life and forget to call
These things are all so small
But remind me is what they do
Luckily I have friends like you
