My Friend
I met a man the other day and much to my surprise
when I began to speak with him and then I realized
This is not just another man crossing my life's path
this man came to stay awhile and be a friend for life
I hear him say a lot of things that I would say myself
the music that he really loves I find those on my shelf
Iv'e never met a man before that thinks the way I do
things that we both like in life are the same thing too
To sit around a blazing fire we can talk the night away
and when there's only embers left we still want to stay
A friend like this we only find maybe one time in our life
if even then they come along it will make the world alright
So friend I thank you for your time that you spend with me
and a friend I will always be to you just like you are to me
