my friend
you hold the key to paradise
you weigh a loan to pay the price
right nice
what is this power you possess
compassion in a sweet caress
in everything you do
I love you

my friend
you smile and it’s a sunny day
and some may never fade away
you spark an everlasting flame in me
the fire burns eternally
in everything you do
I love you

my friend
show me what true love is
teach these eyes to see
without your soul to guide me
what am I to do
help me make it through
I’ll be true
I believe in you
I love you
