Friend

When I look at you these days

I think of all we've been through

You and I are one and the same

And I thank God for you

I remember the youth and the days gone by

And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes

Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time

And do it all over again

My friend, oh, my friend

You were always here for me

And I'll be there for you

You taught me how to live my life

You're the strength that pulls me through

I remember the youth and the days gone by

And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes

Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time

And do it all over again

My friend

So many times you were tough on me

I just didn't understand

Looking back, I realize that it made me a better man

Oh, my friend

I remember the youth and the days gone by

And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes

Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time

And do it all over again, and do it all over again

My friend

Oh, you'll always be my friend

Now I understand

Oh, my friend

Made me a better man

Oh, my friend

Oh, you'll always be my friend

Made me a better man

Now I understand

You'll always be, be my friend
