Life can leave you so lonely
Love turns out to be only phony
People break their promises and let you down
But you’ve always stood by me
Never doubted that I could be who I could be
Helped me through the quicksand onto solid ground
I owe it all to friends like you …
I owe it all to friends like you
I owe it all to friends like you
You always stood by me and helped me through
I owe it all to God and friends like you
Life can leave you so lonely
Love turns out to be only phony
People break their promises and let you down
But you’ve always stood by me
Never doubted that I could be who I could be
Helped me through the quicksand onto solid ground
I owe it all to friends like you …
Trust is easily broken
Hurtful words cannot be unspoken
Faithfulness becomes an inconvenience
Don’t pretend I’ve been blameless
That would not cause our pain to be less
But bless you for your caring and encouragement
I owe it all to friends like you …
May the sky never rain when you need the sun
May the road straighten out when your heart says run
May you always find smiles and a helping hand
When the pain closes in and it’s hard to stand
What you did for me, may others do for you
What you did for me, may others do for you
What you did for me …
I owe it all to friends like you …
