Thank You For Being My Friend

Verse 1:

Good morning                  
Hey, could you go for a walk               
After the kids get dropped off
Cause I love to talk with you

You’ll listen
And you’ll point me back to the truth
And I’ll try to do the same for you
‘Cause I know you struggle too
We all do

Chorus:

And I don’t need to explain myself
I know you understand
Thank you, thank you for being my friend

Verse 2: 
I miss you 
I hate that we live far apart
But you’re still a kindred heart
I’d love to catch up soon

We’ve grown
The years they have made us more wise
But I still miss that college life
When I’d stay up half the night
Just talking to you

Chorus:
And I don’t need to explain myself
I know you understand
Thank you, thank you for being my friend

Bridge :     
Friendship: to be really known
And loved anyway
The kind of love                 
That won’t leave you the same
And it’s a heart
That is bound up with yours 
Enough to break

Verse 3:
It’s dark now
Could you come shine a light
Remind me the sun’s gonna rise
Would you sit with me tonight

And would you pray?
‘Cause I can’t find the words 
I see your tears, I know you know it hurts
I’m so glad you’re with me

Chorus 2:
And I don’t need to explain myself
I know you understand
Thank you, thank you
Thank you thank you
Thank you thank you
For being my friend
