Andrew Gold - Thank You For Being A Friend: The Best Of Andrew Gold. [compilation] (2005) by Andrew Gold (보컬) on maniadb.com

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say

Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

He was born on a summer day 1951
And with a slap of a hand
He landed as an only son
His mother and father said what a lovely boy
We'll teach him what we learned
Ah yes just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly and
We'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight
To be nobody's fool

Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

In the summer of '53 his mother
Brought him a sister
And she told him we must attend to her needs
She's so much younger than you
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh how could his parents have lied
When they said he was an only son
He thought he was the only one

Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

Goodbye mama, goodbye to you
Goodbye papa I'm pushing on through

He left home on a winter day 1969
And he hoped to find all the love
He had lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up
And she married a man
He gave her a son
Ah yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight
To be nobody's fool

Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

I talked to my baby on the telephone, long distance.
I never knew anyone could miss someone so bad.
I really only met her 'bout a week ago, but
It doesn't really matter to my heart, I know that;

I love her, I'm feeling like I never recover,
'Cos she's good to me, and it would really make me happy,
To never let her slip away.

I feel like a kid with a teenage crush on a school day,
I feel like the lead in Romeo and Juliet.
I'm a little bit happy, I'm a little bit scared,
I never felt this much aware, that

I love her, I'm feeling like I never recover,
'Cos she's good to me, and it would really make me happy,
To never let her slip away.


I'm a little bit happy, I'm a little bit scared,
I never felt this much aware, that

I love her, I'm feeling like I never recover,
'Cos she's good to me, and it would really make me happy,
To never let her slip away.

When it's storming you are my sunshine
When my mind gets cloudy
You bring the light inside
When it's hard for me to breath
You are the air I need
Sometimes I make you wanna leave
But you are always there for me


That's why I love
That's why I love, I love
That's why I love you
That's why I love
And girl I love
I want everyone to know
That I love you


(Nate, sing it for them now)
When I'm crying you are my handkerchief
And when it feels like I'm dying
You bring me up with just one kiss
Baby you're the star when I'm lost
That guides my way
At times when I'm losing my mind
You make everything okay


I love it when you come around
'Cause you know just how to hold me down
You sho nuff got my hypnotized
You are so beautiful and damn those eyes
Without you baby what would I do
I'd use all of my breath to explain to you
That I love you
That's why I
