A friend comes in when the world has gone out
They can make you laugh when you’re feeling down
But they know when to sit with you and pout
Right along with you, they’ll act like a clown

Friends together in sunshine and in shade
She knows me better than I know myself
And when it rained she walked in the parade
The memories for proof sit on her shelf

They always say friendship lasts forever
And a true friend will never leave your side
Surely they will always be there whenever
Right along with you, they will take the stride

Now there are big ships and very small ships
But the best ships of all are you friendships
