My secret friend lives in the shadows
Under my bed were nobody knows
Sometimes at night she gives me a fright And goes and tickles my toes
My secret friend stays by my side
And helps me through the day
She listens to my problems
And makes it all ok
Everybody has one
They help you get around
And only you can hear them
So they never make a sound
My secret friend is kind and loving
So I never go astray
She’s my special friend
And I’m thankful for her each day!
