A Friend Like You

I love the way you care,
The way you light up my days,
The way you play along with my jokes
And the way you make me smile.

When I’m deep down in the dumps,
It’s you who helps me out and brings me to the sunshine.
You’re the one, who gives me the strength to smile,
And the one who fill me with happiness.

You’re always going to be the one I put first.
Forever the one I think about all the time,
Always the one I believe in,
And forever the one I need.

I trust you,
I miss you,
I believe in you
And I love you, forever.
