A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND

A very special friend have I,

I think of her and wonder why,

Anyone as sweet as she,

Should ere befriend the likes of me.

She knows my hidden secret sin.

And all the guilt I have within.

She knows my melancholy way

And the ugly things I sometimes say.

A very special friend have I,

I think of her and wonder why,

Anyone as sweet as she,

Should ere befriend the likes of me.

Her smile has made my sorrow melt.

And filled the emptiness I’ve felt

Her laughter lifts my spirits high,

And makes me want to be a better guy.

A very special friend have I,

I think of her and wonder why,

Anyone as sweet as she,

Should ere befriend the likes of me.
