You Have Been A Friend To Me (A Prairie Home Companion, 2006)
My bark of life was tossing down The troubled stream of time When first I saw your smiling face And youth was in its prime Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam Where ever you may be If ever I have had a friend You have been that friend to me
[Instrumental break]
Misfortune nursed me as her child And loved me fondly, too I would have had a broken heart Had it not been for you Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam Where ever you may be If ever I have had a friend You have been that friend to me
[Instrumental break]
Now I look back upon the past Acrost life's troubled seas And smile to think of all I've seen You've been a friend to me Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam Where ever you may be If ever I have had a friend You have been that friend to me Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam Where ever you may be If ever I have had a friend You have been that friend to me.
