"The Friend Song" lyrics

I can tell you things that I have never told no one
I can sing you songs that I have never sung no one
I don't have to know it's late to open up my shades
Seeing is believing, 'cept when you walk through my day

Here comes the morning, cool cool morning
Time won't remember, the faith less warning
Need no reminder, that you're my truest friend and confidant

Mountain high and river low, through the oceans we will go
I haven't heard your voice for many tears and years and fears ago
Singing songs and walking 'long, and then from time we will gather 'round
Seeking simple greetings. Goodbye. Hello. How are you?

Here comes the morning, cool cool morning
Time won't remember, the faith less warning
How many mornings, are you my truest friend and confidant?

Here comes the morning, cool cool morning
Time won't remember, the faith less warning
Need no reminder, that you're my truest friend and confidant

I fell into a pond, and down below I found a friend
He told me I would never see the light of day again
He handed me a book, inside he proudly wrote my name
The cover read "This Is To Be The Life You Live My Friend"

The pages were many, of times and sorrows
Still not as many, as friends tomorrow
Walk with me softly, for you're my truest friends and confidants

When I call you friend and confidant
You're my secret friend and confidant
