What A Friend You Are - Tom Paxton

What a friend you are

If I had a golden star

I’d pin it on you

For seeing it through

With me

With me

What a friend indeed

Girl, they all but had me treed

Till you came along

And you made me strong

And free

And free

When I needed you

You were there Before I knew

I needed you

You came through

When the luck was bad

When bad luck was all we had

And no one cared

You were there

What a special friend

Just the kind who’ll never bend

Or break away

You said you’d stay

And here you are

Here you are

When I needed you, you were there

Before I knew I needed you, you came through

When the luck was bad

When bad luck was all I had and no one cared

You were there

What a special friend

Just the kind who’ll never bend or break away

You said you’d stay and here you are

Here you are, what a special friend you are
