When I need someone
To tell my troubles to
You're the first one
Who comes to my mind
When there's nowhere to run
You're the one I turn to
Lord knows a friend like you is hard to find

A friend like you everyone should have
A friend like you we all need
All I wanna do is be a friend to you
The way you are a friend to me

When I'm lost out in the dark
You're the bright light shining through
You're my anchor, my hope, my new day
Through the stormy nights ahead
I'll be counting on you
To keep me strong come what may

A friend like you everyone should have
A friend like you we all need
All I wanna do is be a friend to you
The way you are a friend to me

Joyful is my soul every time I think of you
Sweet music is the gift you bring
Thank you for the songs
Soaring in my heart
Your love makes me sing

Oh, a friend like you everyone should have
A friend like you we all need
All I wanna do is be a friend to you
The way you are a friend to me
I wanna be a friend like you.
