Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:1 Everybody needs a little help sometime, No one stands alone.
.... Let me tell you of mine.
(Chorus)
He's my forever friend,
My leave me never friend,
From darkest night, to rainbow's end,
He's my forever friend.
2 Even when I turn away He cares for me, His love no one can shake,
... But He is always mine.
3 If you still don't know the one I'm talking off, I think it's time you knew,
... And He'll be your friend too.
