How nice it is to have a friend
With whom to share life's ups and downs
Each moment cherished
Making smiles from frowns
~~~
How good it is to have a friend
Who will listen to you rant and rave
The gathering of emotions spent
A brighter end to the road you pave
~~~
How lovely it is to have a friend
With whom to laugh and do silly things
The simple beauty of life revealed
The true meaning of friendship you bring
~~~
All these and more
Are what you are to me
The beauty of love we share
For all the world to see
