I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be

I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have been a loving friend of mine
to me along the way

I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue

I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so often have never heard,
And feel that I could touch your soul
the way that mine you've stole

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be

I'd like to make you feel as rich in all
who will travel with you and never leave
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon so you could rest in me

I'm wishing at this time
that I could give you all and repay
A portion of the gladness
that you've given along the my way;

And could I have one wish in my life
this only would it be
I'd like to be more than a friend
that you have been to me
