"Friend" lyrics

Friend, there will never be a friend
As dear to me as you
There will never be another
That's closer than a brother
Friend, always worth the wait
Faithful as the day
You say we are friends

You know all about me
The good and the bad
You know when I rise, yes
And fall
You see my beginnings
You stand at the end
And yet you remain
Faithful to say
I am your friend
