Friends are like music Sometimes they're sad Sometimes they're lonely And need to be told that they're loved Everyone needs to be loved Friends are like good wine And I've had the best I don't always show it But no one knows better than I So drink up I'm a homesick old sailor Who longs for the sound of my own front door Tell me your stories I'll teach you my songs And we'll have one more Isn't that what friends are for ? Isn't that what friends are for ? Friends are like warm clothes In the night air Best when they're old And we miss them the most when they're gone Miss them the most when they're gone Your friends love your good side And live with your bad But they want you and need you When no one else knows your alive So drink up I'm a homesick old sailor Who longs for the sound of my own front door Tell me your stories I'll teach you my songs And we'll have one more Isn't that what friends are for ? Isn't that what friends are for ? So drink up I'm a homesick old sailor Who longs for the sound of my own front door Tell me your stories I'll teach you my songs And we'll have one more So drink up I'm a homesick old sailor Who longs for the sound of my own front door Tell me your stories And I'll sing you all my songs And we'll have one more Isn't that what friends are for ? Isn't that what friends are for ? Written by: Paul Williams (ASCAP)
