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 ion leads
We learn what fools we are
Even when it breaks my heart
And hope is hard to find
I still all the ways
Love has been a friend of mine

In a world everchanging
Ev'ry season must end
Love makes only one promise
It will find you again
I ev'ry word
That love has ever said
To a perfect melody
Running through my head

On a not too far tomorrow I'll sing back ev'ry line
The title of my song will be
Love has been a friend of mine
Love is happiness and sorrow
It's ev'rything in time
Through it all I'm glad to say
Love has been a friend of mine
