When a sunny hello
Would help brighten your day...


When you've just heard
good news and
have volumes to say...

When two tickets
turn up to a great matinee...
...all you need is a friend!

When the path that you're on
turns surprisingly rough...

When wherever you're going,
the going gets tough...

When you're giving your all
but it's just not enough...
...all you need is a friend!

A friend speaks the truth
When it needs to be told...

Tells you you're rediant
When you feel old...

Gives you a nudge
When you must be cajoled...
Likes you as you are...
Joins in your mischief
With vigor and zest...

Makes you aware that
You're looking your best...
Leaves you alone
if you just need a rest...
but never strays too far.

When a role model's needed
to keep you on track...
When you've tried to be open
but don't have the knack...
When you've earned a good word
and a pat on the back...
...all you need is a friend.

When it's shared, every day
can be even more fun...
And a duo is often
much better than one...
So remember each dawn
as you rise with the sun...
all you need is a friend!
