Thank You For Being A Friend lyrics

Thank you for being a friend

Traveled down the road and back again

Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say

I hope it always will stay this way

My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party

Invited everyone you knew

You would see the biggest gift would be from me

And the card attached would say:

Thank you for being a friend (4x)

If it's a car you lack

I'd surely buy you a Cadillac

Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say

I hope it always will stay this way

My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older

With walking canes and hair of gray

Have no fear even though it's hard to hear

I will stand real close and say:

Thank you for being a friend (4x)

(I wanna thank you)

Let me tell you about a friend:

Thank you for being a friend (4x)

(I wanna thank you)

And when we die

And float away

Into the night

The milky way

You'll hear me call

As we ascend

I'll say your name

Then once again

Thank you for being a ...

Thank you for being a friend (4x)

(I wanna thank you)

People, let me tell about a friend

Thank you for being a friend (4x)

(I wanna thank you)
