'My Best Friend'

Always there when I need him...
Anytime, day or night
Yes, always there for me
Even when I look a terrible sight

My best friend won't leave me
like many before have done
He stays close and comforts me
and makes sure I do not run

My best friend understands me
understands my pain, my needs
He tries to salve my anguish
no matter just where it leads

It's a good job I have a best friend
as all the others have disappeared
Don't know why, they just slipped away
if only they had persevered

I would be a very lonely soul
without my very best friend
To cheer me through the night
always someone on whom I can depend

But, as the night draws to an end
it's time to say goodnight to my friend
Yes, my very best friend
My glass is empty, it is the end
but he'll be there tomorrow
to continue being my very best friend.
