my friend, do you know
that i treasure you more than silver or gold
my thanks for the advice
and the patience you show when i lose my sight
you are the greatest friend in the world
how could i give back what you give to me
you show me what love really means
patient and kind, thoughtful and wise
my friend, i thank God for you.
we can play every day
but then sober up and speak our thoughts
pillowfights and debates
painting our world with poems and lace
you bring me back to what God has designed
but still you look at me with uncondemning eyes
that blesses me more than i can say
my solace in times of stress
my friend, i thank God for you
(Bridge)
its such a joy to have a friend like you
you know everything that i would ever do
you give me the room to try and fall
my confidant and wailing wall
my friend, i thank God for you
my friend, i thank God for you
