Friend Like You

I dont have to look any further
Like I always used to do
No searching for some other unknown mystic lover
Now Ive found the perfect friend in you
There are those Ive known for a lifetime
Others, theyre brand new
They come through lucky chance,
Some from brief romances
Theyd all love to have a friend like you

But you took me by suprise
I wasnt ready for you
Something flashed before my eyes
Suddenly I adored you, adored you

I was never terminal lonely
From my sheltered point of view
My life was kind of simple, I hadnt built a temple
Dedicated to a friend like you

On the way from cradle to tombstone
There may be a lucky few
Who sail through life untroubled,
Floating on the bubbles
In the wake of special friends like you

When you took me by surprise
I couldnt help but allow
One day vague, the next day wise
To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow

You took me by surprise
I wasnt thinking of you
Suddenly realized
How much I really loved you, I love you

Now I dont need to look any further
Like I always used to do
No searching for some unknown mystic lover
Now Ive found the perfect friend in you
Now Ive found the perfect friend in you
Oh my perfect friend how I love you
