You Are My Friend

You Are My Friend
Words and Music by Derwin Hinson

She created quite a stir, first time he saw her, nothing mattered but then,
Complete content, all the hours spent, in conversations that'd never end,
She really turned around his life, the day she became his wife.
It was said a million times by him...
You're the reason that I breathe, you're everything I need,
I'd do the same thing again, you are my friend.

Walking in the sand, holding her hand, always made him smile,
Seeing her grin, did something to him, and sure drove him wild,
So much ventured so much gained, their love always remained,
She said a million times back then...
You're the reason that I breathe, you're everything I need,
I'd do the same thing again, you are my friend.

Holding you close, is where I will always be,
I'd never tire of you needing me,
I'll never ever go away, I'll be here I’ll always stay,
It was said again and again...
You're the reason that I breathe, you're everything I need,
I'd do the same thing again, you are my friend.

______Verse______________________

His memory now fails, confused he tells his tales, she just holds his hand,
His color fading from his cheeks, she watches him grow weak,
But beside him she still stands,
Strange people walk past their door; the kids don't come like before,
Somehow she stood till the end…
You're the reason that I breathe, you're everything I need,
I'd do the same thing again, you are my friend.
