THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND

Andrew Gold





Thank you for being a friend

Traveled down a road and back again

Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant



I'm not ashamed to say 

I hope it always will stay this way 

My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow



And if you threw a party 

Invited everyone you knew

You would see the biggest gift would be from me

And the card attached would say 



Thank you for being a friend



If it's a car you lack

I'd surely buy you a Cadillac

Whatever you need any time of the day or night



I'm not ashamed to say 

I hope it always will stay this way

My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow



And when we both get older

With walking canes and hair of gray 

Have no fear even though it's hard to hear

I will stand real close and say



Thank you for being a friend



And when we die

And float away 

Into the night

The milky way 

You'll hear me call

As we ascend 

I'll say your name

Then once again 



Thank you for being a friend
