Only A Friend

Only a friend will walk

That extra mile to help you out,

Only a friend understands

You, and what you're about

Only a friend will cry with you

When you're hurting deep inside,

Only a friend will secure a secret

That you prefer to hide

If the sun didn't rise in the morning

And black clouds covered above,

Only a friend could turn the sky to blue

With warm words and a show of love

Only a friend will stand beside you

Even though you're miles away,

Only a friend knows how to make you smile

To help you through the day

Only a friend will take the time

To listen to what's been said,

Or place themselves in front of you

If you fear what lies ahead

Only a friend will do all this

In their heart there's a message they send,

I'll always be here when you need me

Because you, "you're my best friend"
