A Friend is Still a Friend

Funny how it happens
One of life's own tricks
Folks are thrown together
Somehow something clicks
Could it be some greater scheme the universe intends
As what were once two strangers
Become two lifelong friends

A point of view is aired
A joke or two is shared
You have to be prepared
A friend is still a friend

Your patience may be trialed
You take it in your stride
And rally to their side
A friend is still a friend

And if he disappoints you
Or goes out on a limb
You know that a part of you will still have time for him
You help him to pull through
You know one thing is true
He'd do the same for you
A friend is still a friend

If he has a weakness
Habits that are his
Are they not mere foibles, that make him who he is
Which of us is qualified for casting the first stone
For none of us are blameless
We have faults of our own

Sometimes we ask a lot
Sometimes we lose the plot
We know no matter what
A friend is still a friend

And if the skies cave in
We'll take it on the chin
Be there through thick and thin
A friend is still a friend

And if we have a difference
We don't give up the ghost
What we have in common
Is the part which matters most (The part which matters most)
And as our journeys end
I hope all riffs can bend
On love you can depend
A friend is still a friend

On love you can depend
A friend is still a friend
