Lyrics
You Are My Friend
1. You are my friend, the one that I laugh with,
The one that I plan with, share with? love
If I need direction, you don?t expect perfection;
Working together, we are friends in love.
Chorus 1:
You are to me, what sun is to moon,
Stars are to sky, just you and I
Shining so brightly together above.
You?re my best friend, and my love.
2. You?re my best friend; the one who?ll always listen,
The one who holds me tight, when teardrops glisten.
The one I?ll safely trust in, for the rest of my life.
We?re partners and best friends, you and I.
Chorus 2:
You and I together through good times and bad
Through many life experiences, happy or sad.
I?ll give you all my love as we look to the sky,
We are best friends, you and I.
Bridge:
So laugh with me, dream with me,
Walk with me, talk to me?.
So look to the stars and be sure of our love.
Twinkling and sparkling far above.
Repeat refrains (Chorus 1 and then Chorus 2)
After 2nd Chorus, sing repeated refrain with slight lyrics change:
So I give you all my love, as we reach for the sky?
We are best friends, you and I.
