For a friend

For a friend who's been there,
from a friend who's been there before.

Thankyou for taking notice,
and standing by my side.
Thanks for helping me through this,
these have been difficult times.

Now the favour I must return,
I've been there before,
and you showed such concern,
you helped me off the floor.

I remember the words you told me,
to be strong, things will change,
back then it was too hard to believe,
but now they're not the same.

I've had a friend in you,
so you should count on me.
I'll be here when you're blue,
To a dear friend, from me.
