My friend This song's for you You're such a good man And you really ought to know That when we're apart I think of you Maybe not everyday But still I do. So I wrote this song as a present I needed to tell you how much I care And I hope you can whistle this sweet melody When the road gets rough and you feel in despair My friend This song's for you You're such a good man And you really ought to know. That I'm so glad Our roads have crossed If you hadn't been on my way I'd now be lost I remember that time you took me by the hand When the clouds had overtaken my skies Couldn't see a thing but you showed me my friend That the only light to follow was the fire in my heart. And sometimes when I see you the world goes so quiet Even clocks stop ticking for a while So we open our hearts and let the Angels talk Through us as for once we let go of our pride. My friend this song's for you my friend Can you hear me can you hear me? Can you hear me when I sing so? I know you're out there somewhere in the wide world (My friend this song's for you my friend this song's for you) Can you hear me my friend? Am I singing in vain? (My friend this song's for you my friend this song's for you) Can you hear me my friend? When I sing in the rain? (My friend this song's for you my friend this song's for you) Can you hear me my friend? Am I singing in vain? Ain't got a clue where you are But I know you can hear my voice. Can you hear me my friend? As I sing in the rain? Even if you're in the desert I know you can feel the drops. My friend this song's for you my friend this song's for you My friend this song's for you! And even if some day one of us leaves For the land where only spirits dwell He will thread his way back into the other's dreams To sing him a sweet song and to help him farewell. My friend This song's for you You're such a good man And you really ought to know That when we're apart I think of you Ok maybe not everyday But still I do.
