Lyrics What A Friend You Are - Tom Paxton

What A Friend You Are

What a friend you are
If I had a golden star
I’d pin it on you
For seeing it through
With me
With me
What a friend indeed
Girl, they all but had me treed
Till you came along
And you made me strong
And free
And free
When I needed you
You were there Before I knew
I needed you
You came through
When the luck was bad
When bad luck was all we had
And no one cared
You were there
What a special friend
Just the kind who’ll never bend
Or break away
You said you’d stay
And here you are
Here you are
When I needed you, you were there
Before I knew I needed you, you came through
When the luck was bad
When bad luck was all I had and no one cared
You were there
What a special friend
Just the kind who’ll never bend or break away
You said you’d stay and here you are
Here you are, what a special friend you are
