Happy You’re My Friend
By Bruce Bergh
Can’t stop me from feelin’ this way
Can’t stop me from singin’ today
The sun is out and I’m on my way to see you
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo
I can’t wait to see your face
I can’t wait to see your smile
The time has come for us to be together
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo
The years have come, the years have past
We’ll pick up where we parted last
Time has a way of standing still
When you’re by my side
Each new day we have to share
Melts into a memory, where
I’m so thankful that you are my friend
Ooo, Ooo, Ooo
Instrumental Whistle Ooo, Ooo, Ooo
Days may come, Days may go,
but I just wanted you to know:
I’m so happy that you are a friend
Yes, I’m so glad to have you as my friend
