Lyrics
Good times and bad times,
I can count on being with you.
I thank you for staying so true
My life will go on a long time,
Have to catch up when I see you
And You are my reason I can make it through
I will give my word that I will come in time to rescue
My heart will always be with you
I'm so glad I met you being with me wherever,
We're made for each other forever
I know life can be tough on you time and time again
laughter maybe gone away
I will wipe away my tears to-morrow
Life must go on, that's the reason that you travel away
I will be there if you need me
And I know you'll do the same
I can see you, I can hear you in my heart
You will be here if I need you
I will never have to guess
cause we are very special friends
(Instrumental)
Oh-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
So send me a letter,
let me know how you're doing.
You are my lifetime and true friend.
We'll never be forgotten,
having trust is all we may need
You are always with me in the life I lead
So far, far away from life I used to know
worries are too far, too
I will stop and close my eyes, remember
And at the rainbow I can take you,
I will catch it for you
Memories you can recall
With me any time of day
You can reach out
You can ask me in your soul
I will answer when you call me
I will come no matter how
Cause we are very special friends
Just like a river that flows
Just like stars in the dark night
Lead me in the storm,
Lead me in the dark
You are the light of my life
Oh-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I will be there if you need me
And I know you'll do the same
I can see you, I can hear you in my heart
You will be here if I need you
I will never have to guess
Cause we are very special friends
Memories you can recall
With me any time of day
You can reach out
you can ask me in your soul
I will answer when you call me
I will come no matter how
Cause we are very special friends
Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
(Instrumental, fades to ending)
