OLD FRIENDS

OLD FRIENDS

Thank God for old friends
Who are still there for you
When the rest of the world
Looks away and you're blue.

When the world's got you down
There's no need to cry alone
There's a shoulder to cry on
If you just pick up the phone.

You may not have seen them
For quite a long time
But they remember you well
And things will be fine.

They don't have to ask
How you're feeling today.
They can tell by your eyes;
They know what to say.

Old friends you can lean on
When the going is rough.
No need to hold in feelings
Or try to act tough.

You can let your hair down;
Tell them what's wrong,
Or just stay quiet
But know you belong.

They won't turn their back
On you or your woes.
They'll stick around
When happiness goes.

So thank God for old friends
Who are tried and true,
For whatever it takes
They'll be honest with you.

No need to put on a smile
Or act like you're smart;
Old friends know you well
And they stay in your heart.
