Friends

Of all life's treasuries One is most preciously Kept in my heart And that's the loyalty of friends And family gathered 'round And making joyous sounds Familiar voices warm the heart I find myself alone and feelin' blue Then I know what to do I phone my friends in melancholy And then sometimes I'm filled with doubt Something will chase it out It's having friends, their faith will win it out The problems that we face Are easier to take when you have friends To share the ways and how you knew That they will share the load Then you can always go by day or night You know that you're with folk, of course I know that some of you Can't think of any who you might call friend But listen and I'll tell you that You've heard it said before And of it's truth I'm more Convinced that you have friends just be one No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends
