You Have Been A Friend To Me Lyrics

You Have Been A Friend To Me Song Lyrics

---

My bark of life was tossing down
The troubled stream of time
When first I saw your smiling face
And youth was in its prime

I'll never forget where e're I roam
Wherever you may be
If ever I have had a friend
You've been that friend to me

Misfortune nursed me as her child
And loved me fondly too
I would have had a broken heart
Had it not been for you

I'll never forget where e're I roam
Wherever you may be
If ever I have had a friend
You've been that friend to me

I now look back across the past
Across life's trouble sea
And smile to think, 'mid all life's scenes
You've been a friend to me

I'll never forget where e're I roam
Wherever you may be
If ever I have had a friend
You've been that friend to me
