I wrote this song primarily for my father; both my best friend and mentor; yet it emcompasses all of my friends - past and present. Y'all know who you are!

Friendship Is The Fountain Of Youth
Music and Lyrics By: John “Jonnikhan” King

There are no words that can convey what friendship means to me;
So I write these words today, hoping that you’ll see;
That everything I know and love I want to share with you;
And help you through those painful times and when you’re feeling blue;

To you we cannot tell a lie, we only speak the truth;
Friendship Is The Fountain Of Youth!

Looking back on the years gone by, at the moments that we shared;
Isn’t it funny how time flies and the adventures that we dared;
We are of the same family, together we are strong;
So I write these words with tears and put them in a song;

To you we cannot tell a lie, we only speak the truth;
Friendship Is The Fountain Of Youth!

{Bridge – repeat “Friendship Is The Fountain Of Youth” X 4}

There are no words that can convey what friendship means to me;
So I sing these words today, hoping that you’ll see;
That everything I know and love I want to share with you;
And help you through those painful times like when you’re feeling blue;

To you we cannot tell a lie, we only speak the truth;
Friendship Is the Fountain Of Youth
