A FRIEND NEEDS TO KNOW

A friend needs to know

No matter how far apart

That they always will

Have a place in your heart

A friend needs to know

Just how much you care

And they need to know

You'll always be there

A friend needs to know

They have your love and trust

And they need your respect

Like a pie needs a crust

A friend needs to know

That they have your ear

Should they need to talk

To ease their burdens or fear

A friend needs to know

That you have their back

Should they fall in a slump

You will help pull up the slack

A friend needs to know

Through good times and bad

That you'll be there for them

To cheer them up and make them glad
