Friend Like You lyrics

I don`t have to look any further
Like I always used to do
No searching for some other unknown mystic lover
Now I`ve found the perfect friend in you
There are those I`ve known for a lifetime
Others, they`re brand new
They come through lucky chance,
some from brief romances
They`d all love to have a friend like you

But you took me by suprise
I wasn`t ready for you
Something flashed before my eyes
Suddenly I adored you, adored you

I was never terminal lonely
From my sheltered point of view
My life was kind of simple, I hadn`t built a temple
Dedicated to a friend like you

On the way from cradle to tombstone
There may be a lucky few
Who sail through life untroubled,
floating on the bubbles
In the wake of special friends like you

When you took me by surprise
I couldn`t help but allow
One day vague, the next day wise
To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow

You took me by surprise
I wasn`t thinking of you
Suddenly realized
How much I really loved you, I love you

Now I don`t need to look any further
Like I always used to do
No searching for some unknown mystic lover
Now I`ve found the perfect friend in you
Now I`ve found the perfect friend in you
Oh my perfect friend how I love you
