you my friend my special friend i give thanks to you my dear friend   i won't pretend and say till the end but take time now and say thank you   i never said i was the best friend i could be the friend that you need   but still i take the time to thank before it's too late   take time now before a face in the crowd is what our friendships become   i thank you for the time we talked all night   and for the time you told me i'd be all right   thank you for listening and hearing my side thank you for being my friend   thank you for being alive
