When I prayed for you before we met
Not knowing who you would be
I asked the lord to send a friend
One chosen just for me
Someone who would not judge
But encourage as I go
To listen to me when I talk
And to catch my downfall
I was given much more than I ever asked
For you are the friend he sent
A friend is like a flower or a rose to be exact
Or maybe like an owl both beautiful and wise
A friend is like a heart that goes strong till the end
Or maybe like a ghost whose spirit never dies
We grow closer over the years
Sharing good times and the bad
We feel that the nature of friendship
Requires a helping hand
When I asked for a friend with qualities
With great characteristics and style
I am sure he searched far and wide
More than a metre yard or mile
I was given much more than I ever asked
For you are the friend he sent
My friend when I think of you
I think of all we have been through
All the times we argue and fight
I know deep inside that it is not right
You are the light in my day
You are the moon in my night
You shine very bright
So lets keep it that way mate as time flies by
A friend is like a flower or a rose to be exact
Or maybe like an owl both beautiful and wise
A friend is like a heart that goes strong till the end
Or maybe like a ghost whose spirit never dies
To reach and to comfort the way that you do
Cause I can see-
That your kind of friendship is priceless to me.
