The Daily Boost #595

Thank you for being a friend

I may not know you well, but I’m glad you’re in my life.

May take a moment to share this with a friend of yours . . .

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND
Andrew M. 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
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
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

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
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

I’m gonna tell you ‘bout it
Tell you again and again
There ain’t no reason to doubt it
Thank you for being a friend

I want to thank you right now for being a friend
I want to tell you ‘bout it now 
Then I’ll tell you again 
I want to thank you 
Thank you
Thank you for being a friend

(My thanks to JJ Heller and the songwriter. AND TO YOU.)
