Friend Lyrics by Roberta Flack

Set the Night to Music

1991

[Verse 1]
Now the moon is peering through
My thoughts are pure and clear
I see the ones I've taken for granted
Ones I love so dear

[Chorus]
Oh, my friend
I can depend
Thick or thin
We are like kin
Oh, my friend
You never cared about rewards
For loving me

[Verse 2]
How precious are the gems of kindliness
So far and few
And giving is a special gift
Returning back to you

[Chorus]
Oh, my friend
I can depend
Thick or thin
We are like kin
Oh, my friend
You always gave me love
Unselfishly you care

[Bridge]
My friend
My dear friend
Even when we're apart
You stay in my heart
In my mind, in my soul

[Verse 3]
Friends can depend on each other
Time and again
Oh, my friend, you always gave enough
Unselfishly you care

[Chorus]
Oh, my friend
I can depend
Thick or thin
We are like kin
Oh, my friend
You always have and always will be
My best friend

[Outro]
My friend
My friend
