What True Friends Do

What true friends do Life can be so hard- sometimes this world-can be too much You really need a friend- Someone who cares with a human touch A friend is what you need- someone who cares with a guiding hand He's not there to judge when you're feeling down He's one who truly understands-you Chorus I'll be your friend- I'll be the one you need- in your time of need I'll be there- to shed a tear for you- and help you get through... that's what friendship is... that's, what true friends do! Sometimes, words just don't come- it's hard to understand what you're feeling but, I'll be the one who listens to you and, help you back on the road to healing Sometimes, you feel betrayed- you struggle with your confidence, I'll help you with a kind word or deed or, just suffer with you in silence Chorus I'll be your friend- I'll be the one you need- in your time of need I'll be there- to shed a tear for you- and help you get through... that's what friendship is... that's, what true friends do! Sometimes all that you really need- is someone that you can rely on... That knows who you really are inside and lends you a shoulder to cry on Chorus I'll be your friend- I'll be the one you need- in your time of need I'll be there- to shed a tear for you- and help you get through... that's what friendship is... that's, what true friends do! repeat chorus fade to zero John Derek Hamilton July 31,2019

Sometimes the ones that just come out of the blue are the best! I think for some reason they often flow better because there is no struggle within the write!~

I'd love to hear this played live , feel the emotional pull behind the lyrics with music of equal sentiment lifting me to body sways as my heart is sentimentally touched. This would truly be a rememberable, moving song. Beautiful. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
