One and Only Friend In the morning glow As we say hello Something brightly burning in your eyes Like the flame that rose To my face, it shows How I know my one and only friend… Friends I’ll keep and love for all my life And then there is my one and only friend Every single husband, every wife Should understand my one and only friend by my side One and only friend There until the end Laughing in the corners of my mind One who stays Never runs away And who loves me more Today than yesterday When I was a young man I was searching for a lover Much to my surprise I found my one and only friend Someone on whose everflowing love I can depend My one and only friend Someone breathing gently through the night Could only be my one and only friend Smiling as we ride into the light Could only be my one and only friend by my side One and only friend With me till the end Laughing in the corners of my mind One who stays Never runs away And who loves me more Today than yesterday If you're very lucky You will find yourself a lover Luckiest of all to find your one and only friend Someone to receive the lonely signals that you send Your one and only friend Someone breathing gently through the night Could only be my one and only friend Smiling in the sunlight as we ride And always with my one and only friend by my side My one and only friend Copyright Mark Kaufman 2016
