A Friend

A friend is very special
You don't find one everyday
They understand how you feel
And every word you say
With a friend you can be yourself
And never have to pretend
Because they'll stand beside you
And your feelings they'll defend
So I just want to tell you
As a friend, I'm glad your mine
A truer and more honest friend
No one will ever find.

Everyone Needs Someone

No man is an island
That can make it on his own
Everyone needs someone
So that he won't be alone
To fill a home with laughter
To share with him, his love
Everyone needs someone
That he's thinking of
Darling you're my someone
The rock that I lean on
I'm always thinking of you
Even when I must be gone
I may not always show it
But I'm sure you know it's true
Everyone needs someone
And honey, I NEED YOU.

Together, Me And You

We've had our disagreements
There's been more than just a few
But we've also had our good times
Together, me and you
We've faced a lot of heartaches
And caused a lot of pain
But we needed each other
Like a rainbow needs the rain
We seem to grow much closer
As the years pass by
We've learned to laugh together
To hold each other as we cry
We know it will last forever
Our love is strong and true
And no matter what our problems are
We'll be together
Me and you.

A Child

A child is a small person
Who is filled with love and trust
They watch and they listen
And learn from each of us.
Every child is special
A blessing from above
A gift that comes from heaven
To fill our hearts with love.
They have to make their own mistakes
And we must understand
And always be there for them
When they need a guiding hand.
A child is the greatest gift
With which we are blessed
The love and the joy they bring
Makes up for all the rest.
So thank you, Holy Father
For this child that I've dreamed of
And help me to be worthy
Of a child's unchanging love.
