GIVE THANKS TO A FRIEND
(David Gates)


Gwen Stacey - 1964



Darling, don't you know how much I really love you
You mean so much to me that I could cry
But ev'ry now and then I get to wonderin'
Whatever happened to that guy

Once I was alone, no one to call my own
You'll never know the sorrow I went through
I give thanks to a friend that I never saw again
He's the one who introduced me to you

I'll never forget that lovely day we met
And I heard you say 'How do you do'
But I give thanks to a friend that I never saw again
He's the one who introduced me to you

Darling, don't you know how much I really love you
You mean so much to me that I could cry
But ev'ry now and then I get to wonderin'
Whatever happened to that guy

Then I heard someone say the reason he went away
Was because he loved me, but I never knew
And I give thanks to a friend that I never saw again
He's the one who introduced me to you
