I don't have to look any further

Like I always used to do

No searching for some other unknown mystic lover

Now I've found the perfect friend in you

There are those I've known for a lifetime

Others, they're brand new

They come through lucky chance,

some from brief romances

They'd all love to have a friend like you 



But you took me by suprise

I wasn't ready for you

Something flashed before my eyes

Suddenly I adored you, adored you 



I was never terminal lonely

From my sheltered point of view

My life was kind of simple, I hadn't built a temple

Dedicated to a friend like you 



On the way from cradle to tombstone

There may be a lucky few

Who sail through life untroubled,

floating on the bubbles

In the wake of special friends like you 



When you took me by surprise

I couldn't help but allow

One day vague, the next day wise

To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow 



You took me by surprise

I wasn't thinking of you

Suddenly realized

How much I really loved you, I love you 



Now I don't need to look any further

Like I always used to do

No searching for some unknown mystic lover

Now I've found the perfect friend in you

Now I've found the perfect friend in you

Oh my perfect friend how I love you
