It's a pleasure to know you, a pleasure to see you smile
A comfort to know we'll share the road awhile
Pleasure is fleeting, and comforts are far between
It's a pleasure to know you and the comfort you bring

I came to your city after I'd left my home
And I was a stranger, dressed up in stranger's clothes
Favors I needed, but charity's out of style
Rare as the beauty in the face of a trusting child

And it's a pleasure to know you, a pleasure to see you smile
A comfort to know we'll share the road awhile
Pleasure is fleeting, and comforts are far between
It's a pleasure to know you and the comfort you bring

Now they say life's a journey, a highway from birth to death
Mapped in despair, and traveled in hopelessness
Well, they may believe it, but just between you and me
The trick to the traveling is all in the company

And it's a pleasure to know you, a pleasure to see you smile
A comfort to know we'll share the road awhile
Pleasure is fleeting, and comforts are far between
It's a pleasure to know you and the comfort you bring

Now lovers may leave you, lovers may turn away
Children may scorn you, you know that they will someday
Seasons are fickle, and fate is not known as kind
But friendship's the diamond, and trouble's the diamond mine

And it's a pleasure to know you, a pleasure to see you smile
A comfort to know we'll share the road awhile
Pleasure is fleeting, and comforts are far between
It's a pleasure to know you and the comfort you bring
It's a pleasure to know you and the comfort you bring
