Time after time   And any time at all   I could turn to you   With my back to the wall   And you would always give to me   All I asked of you      That's why I call you my friend   You will be my friend   Now 'till my life is ended      So many tears   That you have turned to smiles   I can't believe we survived   All the endless miles   Two hearts broken together   Will heal into one      That's why I call you my friend   You will be my friend   Now 'till my life is ended      Sweet love and tenderness   All our hopes and dreams   Will take us through the hard times      Let winter come   As cold as it will be   My arms are open wide   You can just run to me   As warm as any summer   I am here for you      That's why I call you my friend   You will be my friend   Now 'till my life is ended   As friend
