Lyrics What a Friend You Are - Tom Paxton

What a friend you are
If I had a golden star
I'd pin it on you
For seeing it through
With me
With me

What a friend indeed
Girl, they all but had me treed
'Til you came along
And you made me strong
And free
And free

When I needed you
You were there before I knew
I needed you
You came through
When the luck was bad
When bad luck was all I had
And no one cared
You were there

What a special friend
Just the kind who'll never bend
Or break away
You said you'd stay
And here you are
Here you are

When I needed you
You were there before I knew
I needed you
You came through
When the luck was bad
When bad luck was all I had
And no one cared
You were there

What a special friend
Just the kind who'll never bend
Or break away
You said you'd stay
And here you are
Here you are
What a special friend you are
