Friends lyrics

Ray Thomas and Nicky James)

A long time ago when we met you were lonely
I helped you forget life was solely only a wish to survive
and blood flows much thicker than wine
friends who give up their time to be near you
sing you a song just to cheer you
you will be rich in the end
brother now you`ve got a friend

Life hurries by in the wink of an eye
almost without meaning
days speeding past like the wind hard to grasp
no wonder you`re bleeding
friendship is needed today
or tomorrow is empty and we need each other please stay

For your only hope is together
we`ll live in much calmer weather
and we`ll make a beautiful blend
brother now you`ve got a friend

Friends who give up their time to be near you
sing you their songs just to cheer you
you will be rich in the end
brother now you`ve got a friend
