I’ve got a friend    Who lives a mile down the street   I want her close to me each time we meet   I’ve got a friend she gives me a reason to cry   I hate to say goodbye      So when my ears can no longer hear   When every rainbow is reflected tears   When times get silent I can only pray   Come give me love, come give me love      Come give me freedom   Come give me peace   Come consolation and mind at ease   Come give me loving   Come give me hope at the end   And I will smile again      I know a place nearby where we use to go   To spend some time alone when the nights are cold   I’ve got a friend she’s only a heartbeat away   We said goodbye today      So when my ears can no longer hear   When every rainbow is reflected tears   When times get silent I can only pray   Come give me love, come give me love      Come give me flowers   Come give me trees   Come give me rivers   Come give me seas   Come give me loving   Come give me hope at the end   And I will smile again      Come give me wisdom   Come give me trust   Come give me pleasure    And times of lust   Come give me loving   Come give me hope at the end   And I will smile again      When all my fingers can no longer feel   And when my eyes are too weak to see   When times get rougher    I can only pray      Come give me sunshine,   Come give me rain   Come let you hair down   Release my pain   Come give me loving   Come give me hope at the end   And I will smile again
