May we always be "good buddies"
May we always be good friends
And may our friendship be
The kind that never ends.

A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift,
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With Beauty, Joy, and Grace
And makes the world we live in
A Better and Happier Place.

It's so hard to find a friend like you,
you're someone I can talk to, and always tell the truth.
A friend when we're together, and a friend when we're apart,
you're someone I can lean on when I've got a broken heart.
You share in all my happiness, and feel for all my sorrow,
you're someone that's there to tell me 'there will always be tomorrow.'

It's so hard to find a friend like you,
you're someone to hold my hand, you're there to guide me through.
A friend to share my problems with, and talk to every day,
You're someone who comforts my mind, and always knows what to say.
You know me so very well, a better match we couldn't be,
you're someone to realize that when I do wrong, that it's not really me.

It's so hard to find a friend like you,
you're someone I can't live without, I couldn't imagine what I'd do.
A friend to live with until the end, a tie I couldn't sever,
you're someone that I know will live within my heart forever.
You are a friend to help me stand, when I've fallen to the floor,
and you're someone I care so much about, a friend, and so much more.
