Lyrics
TRUE FRIEND
© 2010 Lyrics and Music by Bob Bentley
Verse 1: Even though you tried so hard, life can always get you down
And even when you give so much, it can take some time to come around
Somewhere up above you is a cloud, it'll slowly disappear
The bad times will soon slip away and the future will be clear
Chorus 1: Well I know it's hard, but you must be strong
When you cannot sleep and the nights are long
It will all change, just give it time
But don't be sad, true friend of mine
Verse 2: Everywhere you look you'll find, good and bad in what you see
Everywhere around you there are people, people just like you and me
No one gets it easy all the time, everyone has things they must achieve
It's only when you turn things round that the darkness starts to leave
Bridge: You gotta see the way ahead, prepare for what's to come,
forget about what's gone before
Gotta do so much yourself, but I can help you out
'Cos you know I feel it too
And it hurts me more and more
Chorus 2: Yes I know it's hard, and it makes you cry
But the pain will go as the days go by
It will all change in a little time
So don't be sad, true friend of mine
Chorus 3: Well I know it's hard, being on your own
But don't sit around waiting for the phone
It will all change, just give it time
And don't be sad, true friend of mine
Chorus 4: Everywhere you go, every time you call
I will pick up if you should ever fall
Every single day, any date or time
So don't be sad, true friend of mine
