Lyrics B.J. Thomas

B.J. Thomas

That's What Friends Are For

Friends are like music

Sometimes they're sad, sometimes they're lonely

And need to be told that they're loved

Everyone needs to be loved

Friends are like good wine

And I've had the best

I don't always show it

But no one knows better than I

So drink up

I'm a homesick old sailor

Who longs for the sound

Of my own front door

Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs

And we'll have one more

Isn't that what friends are for?

Isn't that what friends are for?

Friends are like warm clothes

In the night air, best when they're old

And we miss them the most when they're gone

Miss them the most when they're gone

Your friends love your good side

And live with your bad

But they want you and need you

When no one else knows you're alive

So drink up

I'm a homesick old sailor

Who longs for the sound

Of my own front door

Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs

And we'll have one more

Isn't that what friends are for?

Isn't that what friends are for?

So drink up

I'm a homesick old sailor

Who longs for the sound

Of my own front door

Tell me your stories, I'll teach you my songs

And we'll have one more

So drink up

I'm a homesick old sailor

Who longs for the sound

Of my own front door

Tell me your stories and I'll sing you all my songs

And we'll have one more

Isn't that what friends are for?

Isn't that what friends are for?
