Lyrics Thank You For Being A Friend - Tony Christie feat. Sting, Nile Rodgers & Manchester Camerata

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
Well, 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 any time 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?

But when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Oh, have no fear, even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

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
(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
(I wanna thank you) thank you for being a friend
(I wanna 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
Then once again, thank you for being a–

(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
People, let me tell you 'bout 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, oh-oh

I'll tell you 'bout a friend
Thank you right now for being my friend (thank you for being my friend)
I wanna tell you 'bout a pal, and I'll tell you again (thank you for being my friend)
I wanna thank you, thank you, thank you for being a friend
Tell you 'bout a friend

Thank you for being a friend
