Lyrics

Well the years have taught me many things, though some were hard to learn
And when my troubles took their toll I had somewhere to turn
So when a love a had let me down because it had to end
I pack up all my sorrows and I take them to my friend

When the world comes crashing down on me
Still he’s there, still he’s there
Though I must be lousy company
You know he cares, yes he cares
And when you need to talk out pain
Well, no one else will do
You dial the phone and hear that voice
Thank god he’s a friend to you, I said thank God he’s a friend to you

Well the people I have met in life all showed me something new
And deep inside most everyone I found a heart that’s true
And though they all have left a mark on who I am today
If you ask me who had helped me most well, this is who I’d say

When the world comes crashing down on me
Still he’s there, still he’s there
Though I must be lousy company
You know he cares, yes he cares
And when you need to talk out pain
Well, no one else will do
You dial the phone and hear that voice
Thank god he’s a friend to you, I said thank God he’s a friend to you

Instrumental Break

So if you’re ever feelin’ down and don’t know what to do
Think back to when you when you’ve shared your soul with someone who was true
And though you may have lost your way cause your life’s been rearranged
I’ll tell you, he’ll be back around ‘cause old friends never change

When the world comes crashing down on me
Still he’s there, still he’s there
Though I must be lousy company
You know he cares, yes he cares
And when you need to talk out pain
Well, no one else will do
You dial the phone and hear that voice
Thank god he’s a friend to you, I said thank God he’s a friend to you
