Friends Lyrics - Bill Anderson

You know friends are never earned 

They are a gift from the loving God 

They're precious beyond human evaluation 

You dare not take them for granted 

Or they'll drift away like smoke 

And the warmth of there caring 

Will vanish into the chill of the endless night. 

Most of my friends are unknowns 

They probably won't even rate an obituary 

Unless they live and die in a small town 

Some where, where nothing much ever happens 

But some of my friends are big people 

They are famous, sensitive and talented 

Their names are household words 

And yet they are no more precious 

In God's eyes or in mine.

Then those wonderful nobodies 

Who live and die in obscurity 

Who is your friend? 

He's someone who warns you with a nod 

Or with an unspoken word in hard times 

When you are hurting beyond words 

She's someone who holds you to her breast 

And sighs softly into your hair. 

When no other medicine 

Could possibly stop the pain 

A friend is someone who clinks 

A glass against yours 

Or answers the phone 

At three in the morning when you're lost 

And with a few words of encouragement 

And concern makes you realize 

Your not really lost at all.

Friends come in both sexes 

In all shapes and sizes 

The most important thing 

They have in common is 

Their ability to share with you 

Your most sky splitting joys 

Or your' deepest most awesome sorrows. 

I think of all the things I have in this world 

I'm most grateful for my friends...
