That's What Friends Are For
by Dionne Warwick

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For/In good times and/in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my hearts
And then if you can remember

I'll Stand by You
by the Pretenders

Oh, Why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
But don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So,
If your mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
But hey, what you’ve got to hide
I get angry too
But I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads
Don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if your wrong...
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when,
When the night falls on you baby
Your feeling all alone
Walking on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you

I'll Be There
by the Jackson 5

You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there
I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there
And oh - I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on - yes I will, yes I will
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you, with an unselfish love I respect you
Just call my name and I'll be there
If you should ever find someone new, I know he'd better be good to you
'Cos if he doesn't, I'll be there
Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there
(Just look over your shoulders, honey - ooh)
I'll be there, I'll be there, whenever you need me, I'll be there
Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there...

I Will Be There For You

When I lost faith, you believed in me.
When I stumbled, you were right there.
For every act of love you've done, I owe you one.
There were hard times.
I know I survived just because you stayed by my side
With all I have, with all I am, I promise you all my life.
Whenever the road is too long,
whenever the wind is too strong,
wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you.
Oh, I will be there for you.
Through sorrow,
on the darkest night,
when there's heartache deep down inside,
just like a prayer,
you will be there,
and I promise you all my life.
Whenever the road is too long,
whenever the wind is too strong,
wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you.
Oh, I will be there...
Whenever the road is too long,
whenever the wind is too strong,
wherever this journey may lead to,
I will be there for you.
Oh yes, I will be there for you.
I'll always be there.

Friendship
by Bruce (PoetryPen)

Friendship is for all eternity

And can not be measured in means of time
Friendship has its days of adversity
And is a triump for the fortunate
Friendship is intertwined with honor
And doesn't hide behind illusions
Friendship moves forward with vigor
And doesn't settle for complacency
Frienship displays its compassion
And at times a warm hearts kindness
Friendship reaches out with determination
And the distance between friends seems limitless
Friendship asks no questions
And never reveals a doubt
Frienship never interrogates
And doesn't raise its voice with screams
Friendship is loaded with forgiveness
And never declares a grudge
Frienship is filled with truthfulness
And comes from the bottom of ones heart
Friendship is brimming with a love
And is specialized, by all means
Frienship is what we all desire
And a true friend is what we need.

Graduation (friends forever)
By: Vitamin C

So we talked all night about the rest of our lives * where we're gonna be when we turn 25 * i keep thinking times will never change * keep on thinking things will always be the same * but when we leave this year we won't be coming back * no more hanging out cuz we're on a different track * and if you got something that you need to say * you better say it now * cause you don't have another day * cause we're moving on and we can't slow down * these memories are playing like a film without sound * i keep thinking of that night in June * i didn't know much of love but it came too soon * and there was me and you and when we got real blue * we'd stay at home talking on the telephone * we'd get so excited and we'd get so scared * laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair * and this is how it feels... * as we go on, we remember * all the times we had together * and as our lives change * come whatever, * we will still be * friends forever * so if we get the big jobs and we make the big money * when we look back at now will our jokes still be funny? * will we still remember everything we learned in school * still be trying to break every single rule? * will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man? * can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan? * i keep - keep thinking that its not goodbye * keep on thinking that its our time to fly * and this is how it feels... * as we go on, we remember * all the times we had together * and as our lives change * come whatever * we will still be friends forever * will we think about tomorrow like we think about now? * can we survive it out there * can we make it somehow? * i guess i thought that this would never end * and suddenly it's like we're women and men * will the past be a shadow that will follow us around * will these memories fade when i leave this town? * i keep - keep thinking that its not goodbye * keep on thinking its our time to fly * as we go on, we remember * all the times we had together * and as our lives change * come whatever, * we will still be friends forever *

*You*
By: T.Minera

I have found nothing but kindness in you,
I have found pain and anger in you,
I have found fun and laughter in you,
I have found a friend inside of you.
You. What are you?
You are loyal, Honest,
Kind, And true.
You listen with open ears,
Love with an open heart,
Protect with a solid fist,
And laugh with sparkling eyes.
Friends have mood swings, just like You.
You have many different faces, all to which I've been accustomed,
those of anger, those of frustration,
the gentle and angelic ones, the happy ones, the upset ones,
but I always love the smiling ones.
Here comes You,
with a great big smile,
to greet the world.
I have found You.
You are my companion
You are my therapist
You are my confider,
You are my most cherished treasure.
You are my friend
And I love you.

A Friend To Me
Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we first met
Me and you
Well we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret
Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me
You can be so stubborn
There's times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see the day
When you say I might be right
And there's times I'd rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me
You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show me it's okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology
Oh you've always been
And you will til God knows when
Yes you've always been a friend to me

*~* My Guardian Angel *~*
You probably don't understand why I'm so attatched to you, Or why I always smile when you're around, or why you make me happy when I'm blue. You don't know how I can live with you because you don't have much time for me. But that doesn't bother me at all and you don't know how that could be. You see me whenever you can and I'll admit that it's not a lot But that's what makes my memories of you and somtimes that's all I've got. You've seen me in every style from casual to formal dress. You even saw me right after my surgery when I didn't look the best. You didn't care what I had looked like to you, it only mattered I was in pain. And since that long gone weekend my love for you has never been the same. You did all you could for me that weekend by showing how much you cared. My love for you has gotten deeper with all the love you have shared. You've become my guardian angel, you were sent to watch over me. Meanwhile you've also become my only love and I hope with me, is where you'll always be

Call me if you need me I'll be waiting by the phone You don't have to call me now But if you need me I'll be home I'll be here for you to run to And take the pain away So call me if you need me Your always welcome here to stay Don't worry about the bad times I've left them in the past And if you do the same I think this time it will last Our frienship is closer Than both will ever know But if we put our hearts together I know it will show Call me if you need me I'll be waiting by the phone You don't have to call me now But if you need me I'll be home I'll be here for you to run to And take the pain away So call me if you need me Your always welcome here to stay Look back to what we had And the good times we had shared Sisters we thought of each other When we definitely both cared But all we need is will And the power to achieve To keep this friendship going We both need to believe Don't listen to the others Who gave up on us long before They didn't seem to care Making us not sure But I believe it now And I'm hoping you do to Writing you this poem I'll hoping you'll come through Call me if you need me I'll be waiting by the phone You don't have to call me now But if you need me I'll be home I'll be here for you to run to And take the pain away So call me if you need me Your always welcome here to stay Best friends we'll always be True friends cannot depart And no matter what your choice I'll keep you deep in heart Nothing should have stopped us Of what we had before Trust we should have kept But instead we closed the door Call me if you need me I'll be waitng by the phone you don't have to call me now But if you need me I'll be home I'll be here for you to run to And take the pain away So call me if you need me your always welcome here to stay

How do i say goodbye to what we had the good times that made us laugh i thought we'd get to be(see?) forever but forever has gone away it's so hard to say good bye to yesterday i don't know where this road is going to lead all i know is where we've been and what we've been through if we get to see tomoer the rain it's so hard to say good bye to yesterday

what a best friend isnt the best friend i ever had i have thanks to you even though you ruined our friendship i know what a real friend shouldnt do. so even though you caused me more pain than anyone ive ever known i can only thank you for letting your true colors show. i found out what you really were now i know what a best friend shouldnt be i found a best friend whos nothing like you she really cares about me. so all that time i tried to fix things i shouldve been moving on because you werent a true best friend and i can see that now that you're gone. finally i opened my eyes and saw my true best friend i wouldnt have ever realized that if our friendship hadnt come to an end. so i hope you dont regret hurting me because i dont regret losing you know i know what a best friend really is and what a best friend shouldnt do.

she was anything and everything to me she was all i ever could imagine and what i wanted to be she was like a sister, the older ones that are better and i regret all the times i wished i had never met her

i said some terrible things i wish i could take back my priotrities, dreams, and ambitions were quite out of wack she was tall, beautiful, and smart something that i was lacking in me, a big part

i regret everything i said my heart is broken, my brain shattered in my head i'm alone in my world i'm all by myself you see she lacked one thing, she lacked health

she had everything she needed to get far in life she would of been the best of mothers, and of wives she would of been a smart business woman or a great mother but instead she left us empty, me and her brother

you see she was my best friend, she was the world to me we were as close, as close as can be there isn't anything i would give to have her back i feel empty, inside me i lack

she's up in heaven now shining down on us

Thank you.. by Bon Jovi

It's hard for me to say the things I want to say sometimes There's no one here but you and me And that broken old street light Lock the doors We'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you Are these five words when I Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see For parting my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me I never knew I had a dream Until that dream was you When I look into your eyes The sky's a different blue Cross my heart I wear no disguise If I tried, you'd make believe That you believed my lies Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see For parting my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me You pick me up when I fall down You ring the bell before they count me out If I was drowning you would part the sea And risk your own life to rescue me Lock the doors We'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you Are these five words when I Thank you for loving me For being my eyes Oh, when I couldn't see For parting my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me When I couldn't fly Oh, you gave me wings You parted my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me Oh, for loving me

A DEFINITION OF FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful friendly hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of comfort, blow the rest away. my best friends cheer me on as I run therace of life and if I fall, they help me stumble across the finish line

OATH TO MY FRIEND

When you are sad... I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against the scum sucking bastard who made you sad.

When you are scared... I will laugh at you and tease you about it every chance I get, then I will make sure you know you're never alone.

When you are worried... I will tell you how much worse it could be and to quit complaining, then I will hug you, and tell you it'll be OK.

When you are confused... I will use little words to explain it to your dumb ass. LOL

And when you are lost... I will answer my cell phone and give you directions.

When you are sick... I will hold your hair while you pay homage to the porcelain god.

When you fall... I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass, then I will hold out my hand and help you up.

This is my oath: I pledge till the end. Why you may ask? Because you're my friend, and the whole reason people have friends is to have fun, and to know that even in your darkest hour, you're never alone.

The Definition of a Friend

From day to day, nothing so surely defines the quality of our lives as the unwavering affiramation in the eyes, in the voices, in thepresence of our friends. It is through them that we truly begin to knowourselves; and it is their affection that assures our dignity and worth.
