Lyrics: Madeline Bell
Music: Alan Parker
Runnin’ away from life is hard to do
Especially when there’s nothing else for you
Just have a little patience
‘Cause life will never make sense
Unless you have lived and you’ve learned all the bads for yourself oh
It’s really nice to know that you’re a friend
And that you’ll let me know you now and then
If I have any problems
I know you’re going to solve them
And stand by my side
Lend a hand, be my guy
To the end ah
Oh, I’d do the same for you
Don’t you know I’d even take the blame for you
And if I thought I might do any good
Change your darkest night to day
If only I could you know I would
I wish I could do a whole lot more
Haven’t I told you this before
Isn’t that what a friend is for
That’s what friends are for
So if your cup should fill right to the brim
You know I’ll stay by you through thick and thin
Don’t think twice I’m only
A minute away if you only
Remember that life ain’t so bad when you know you’re a friend
Oh I’d do the same for you
Don’t you know I’d even take the blame for you
If I thought I might do any good
Change your darkest night to day
If only I could you know I would
I wish I could do a whole lot more
Haven’t I told you this before
Isn’t that what a friend is for
That’s what friends are for
So if your cup should fill right to the brim
You know I’ll stay by you through thick and thin
Don’t think twice I’m only
A minute away if you only
Remember that life ain’t so bad when you know you’re a friend
