(B. Wilson/S. Kalinich)

As I look back at my life
As I move on through the year
Every time I reminisce
One thing rings loud and clear

I'm so grateful
friend like you
You're the one
Who helps me make it through
All my dreams and
All my hopes to satisfy

I was lost
What could I do?
None of my wishes
Ever came through
You were there
You were there for me

friend like you
friend like you
You simplify me
You stand beside me

friend like you
friend like you
You mystify me
You lullaby me

You have courage
You risk it all
Pick me up and
Every time I fall
You inspire me
Every day of my life

I was broken
So torn in two
You showed me kindness
Finally you broke through
All my problems
All my troubles just dissolve

friend like you
friend like you
You are patient
You are thoughtful

friend like you
friend like you
You're so tender
You're so precious

I was [bad word] 
Against the wall
I turned to you
I felt so small
So unselfish
So warm and caring are you

You have courage
You risk it all
Pick me up and
Every time I fall
You inspire me
Every day of my life

As I look back at my life
As I move on through the years
Every time I reminisce
One thing rings out loud and clear
