Love has been a friend to me
A friend my whole life through
Always saw the best in me
As only friends will do.

It was young when I was young
And both of us were blind
We made it through the careless years
Love has been a friend of mine.

Love has been a friend to me
Companions of the heart
Following where passion leads
We learn what fools we are.

Even when it breaks my heart
And hope is hard to find
I still remember all the ways
Love has been a friend of mine.

In a world ever changing
Every season must end
Love makes only one promise
It will find you again.

I remember every word
That love has ever said
To a perfect melody
Running through my head.

On a not too far tomorrow
I'll sing back every line
The title of my song will be
Love has been a friend of mine.

Love is happiness and sorrow
It's everything in time
Through it all I'm glad to say
Love has been a friend of mine
