Lyrics Thank You For Being A Friend - Duet With Dionne Warwick - Elaine Paige

Thank you for being a friend
Travelled down the 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

Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need
Anytime 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 grey
Have no fear; even though
It's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend

(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
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 see you there, then once again
Thank you for being a...

Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I want to thank you)

Thank you for being a friend
Whoa, tell you about a friend
(I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
Whoa, tell you about a friend
(I wanna tell you right now and tell you again)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna thank you, thank you)
Thank you for being a friend.
