My feelings for friends are deep in my heart
I want to tell them, but where should I start
They support me, and help me, and know what to say
I don't think I could live, without them each day
They're here when I'm happy and here when I'm sad
They even stay beside me when I'm downright mad
Their words mean more than money can buy
Even the simplest of words, the little one - "Hi"
They're compassionate and caring, and don't put me down
They can even make a smile from a frown
True friends are rare as everybody knows
So once they're beside me, I won't let them go
Finally my friends I just want to say
When you're here beside me, I'll love every day
