Everyone Needs Someone

People need people and friends need friends 
And we all need love for a full life depends 
Not on vast riches or great acclaim, Not on success or on worldly fame, 
But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers -
For only the knowledge that we're understood 
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good,
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need 
When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
That life's completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones and friends.

When Trouble Come


When troubles come your soul to try
You love the friend who just stands by.
Perhaps there's nothing he or she can do
The thing is strictly up to you.

For there are troubles all your own
And paths the soul must tread alone.
Times when love can't smooth the road
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.

But just to feel you have a friend
Who will stand by until the end.
Whose sympathy through all endures
Whose warm handclasp is always yours.

It helps somehow to pull you through
Although there's nothing he or she can do.
And so with fervent heart we cry...
God Bless the friend who just stands by.

Everyday Camelot

Everyday you make me smile
You let me know you care.
You help me see the good in things. 
And for me you're always there. 

Everyday You ease my pain,
And help me through my day.
You let me know I'm not alone,
You teach me love that way.  

Everyday I say a prayer
To keep you safe and free.
And everyday is filled with hope,
That you'll spend time with me.  

Everyday you show me love
Wanting nothing back from me.
You let me know you are my friend
And keep me company.  

Everyday I look around
Even when my life's a mess.
Knowing in my heart of hearts
My friends are just the best.  

Everyday I thank the Lord
For having given me
The very best that I can have,
That is, all my friends, you see!
