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
