I don't have to look any further   Like I always used to do   No searching for some other unknown mystic lover   Now I've found the perfect friend in you   There are those I've known for a lifetime   Others, they're brand new   They come through lucky chance,   Some from brief romances   They'd all love to have a friend like you      But you took me by suprise   I wasn't ready for you   Something flashed before my eyes   Suddenly I adored you, adored you      I was never terminal lonely   From my sheltered point of view   My life was kind of simple, I hadn't built a temple   Dedicated to a friend like you      On the way from cradle to tombstone   There may be a lucky few   Who sail through life untroubled,   Floating on the bubbles   In the wake of special friends like you      When you took me by surprise   I couldn't help but allow   One day vague, the next day wise   To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow      You took me by surprise   I wasn't thinking of you   Suddenly realized   How much I really loved you, I love you      Now I don't need to look any further   Like I always used to do   No searching for some unknown mystic lover   Now I've found the perfect friend in you   Now I've found the perfect friend in you   Oh my perfect friend how I love you
