Lyrics

Vs. 1:
Have you ever had a friend who was always on your side?
You could laugh together, and they would cry when you cried.
Have you ever had a friend who?d give anything they had
To give you the dreams of your heart?
Well, that?s the kind of friend you are.

Refrain:
Friends like you always lift you up when your heart is feelin? down;
Friends like you are like a cool breeze when the sun is bearing down;
Friends like you know your faults and failures and love you anyway;
Oh, I?d like to say I?m thankful for a friend like you.

Vs. 2:
A real friend will love you even when you?re wrong;
A real friend will be there, when those good-time friends are gone;
A real friend knows what to say and when to say nothing at all;
A real friend will pick you up when you fall,
And that?s the kind of friend you are.

[REFRAIN]

Bridge: Oh, a true friend stays closer than a brother;
And a true friend will lay down his life.
And I just want to be
The kind of friend you?ve been to me! (key modulation)

REF:
Friends like you always lift me up when my heart is feelin? down;
Friends like you are like a cool breeze when the sun is bearing down;
Friends like you know my faults and failures and love me anyway;
Oh, I?d like to say I?m thankful??..
Oh, I?d like to say I?m thankful, my friend;
Oh, I?d like to say I?m thankful (so very thankful) for a friend like you.
