"WHO KNEW"
Who knew that your smile could brighten my day,
Who knew that I'd hang on every word you'd say,
Who knew that our time together meant so much,
Who knew that I'd melt at your slightest touch?
Who knew that I'd be lost in your beautiful eyes,
Who knew you were as mysterious as the stars in the sky,
Who knew that I'd want to treat you better...
than anyone could
Who knew that I should be with you,
more than anyone should?
Who knew that I would be writing this today,
Who knew that you would affect me this way?
Who knew that our wonderful friendship together
Was capable of blossoming a love forever....
Who knew?

"If I Call You Friend"
If I call you friend,
You will always share a piece of my heart.
I will always pride myself...
To always be true to you.
As much as I need friends...
So must you.
I will also share a place in your heart,
To be there whenever you need me.
I may not be there in flesh,
But I will always be there in spirit.
I will cope with your moods,
And try to understand your needs.
When you are angry--
I will laugh with you.
As sadness overwhelms you...
We will cry together.
If you feel down and kicked,
I will pick you up and brush away your doubts.
When you think you can't continue
I will remind you that you can.
As you become discouraged,
I will boost your ego high.
At times when you wish to talk,
My attention will all be yours.
Being a friend I don't take lightly,
It's my desire, never a chore.
At times when you must mourn,
I shall mourn with you.
If you need some silence, yet not be alone,
We will sit together in the peace of quiet.
When you wish to play,
You will always have a playmate.
When you feel on top of the world,
I'll pat your back and tell you, you deserve to be.
You will never be completely alone,
A piece of me will always be with you.
One thing I can always give,
Is the gift of friendship for you to accept.
Allow our friendship to make you smile,
Bring joy to your life as you have to mine.
When you become confused and lose your way,
Let me guide you in the right direction.
Lean on me when you need support,
Let me share your sorrow and pain.
What good can a friend really be,
If you cannot understand we will always care.
If I call you friend,
You will always know...A friend you have in me.

Friend is a word that I don't throw around
Though it's used and abused, I still like the sound.
I save it for people who've done right by me
And I know I can count on, if ever need be.
Some of my friends drive big limousines
Own ranches and banks and visit with queens,
And some of my friends are up to their neck
In overdue notes and can't write a check.
They're singers or ropers or writers of prose
And others, God bless 'em, can't blow their own nose!
I guess bein' friends don't have nothing' to do
With talent or money or knowin' who's who.
It's a comf'terful feelin' when you don't have to care,
'Bout chosin' your words or bein' quite fair.
'Cause friends'll just listen and let go on by
Those words you don't mean and not bat an eye.
It makes a friend happy to see your success.
They're proud of yer good side and forgive all the rest.
And that ain't so easy, all of the time,
Sometimes I get crazy and seem to go blind!
Yer friend just might have to take you on home,
Or remind you sometime, that you're not alone.
Or ever so gently pull you back to the ground,
When you think you can fly, with no one around.
A hug or a shake, whichever seems right
Is the high point of givin', I'll tell ya tonight,
All worldly riches and tributes of men,
Can't hold a candle to the worth of a friend.
