Love has been a friend to me
friend my whole life through
Always saw the best in me
As only friends will do

It was young when I was young
And both of us were blind
We made it through the careless years
Love has been a friend of mine

Love has been a friend to [bad word] of the heart
Following where passion leads
We learn what fools we are

Even when it breaks my heart
And hope is hard to find
I still remember all the ways
Love has been a friend of mine

In a world ever changing
Every season must end
Love makes only one promise
It will find you again

I remember every word
That love has ever said
To a perfect [bad word] through my head

On a not too far tomorrow
I'll sing back every line
The title of my song will be
'Love Has Been Friend Of Mine'

Love is happiness and sorrow
It's everything in time
Through it all I'm glad to say
Love has been a friend of mine, of mine
