Woman You Have Been a Friend to Me

I appreciate the coffee that you made

I appreciate the shelter of your roof

I'll pay you back someday for all the kindness

And all the other liberties I took

Although I cannot say that I have loved you

I won't forget how good it was to be

Among the people you call little darling

Hey woman, you have been a friend to me

Woman, you have been a friend to me

And somewhere down the line I'll drink a toast

To a lady who encouraged me to try

And took me in when I was down and broke

I hope that life holds many thrills for you

And there are great big apples on your tree

I'm sorry that I couldn't give you more than thanks

But woman, you have been a friend to me

Woman, you have been a friend to me
