Being A Friend

Story Behind The Song

I love my friends! I couldn't get this chorus out of my head so I had to write the stinking song just so I could get on with my life. I remember setting up to deliver a talk (as part of my corporate life) and being haunted by the relentless chorus. So this is my ode to friends everywhere.

Lyrics

Being A Friend

V1: You care for me like nobody else does
You were there for me when nobody else was
You lift me up like nobody else can
You know me and accept me as I am

V2: You believe in me even when I don't
You fight for me 'cause you know that I won't
You tell me the truth when nobody else will
I take it from you 'cause I know you mean well

Cho: Sometimes when I'm stuck in the middle
Feeling life is worth so little
All I have to do is look behind me
And there you are - you remind me
What matters in the end is being a friend

V2: You listened to me when nobody else would
You saw in me what nobody else could
You let me be alone when I have a mind to
And when I don't I can always find you

Cho:

Bridge: There's noone else I'd rather be with
Whether we're laughing or crying
'Cause you bring out the best in me
Without even trying

Cho:
