Friendship

Oh oh oh oh oh
Sincerity and selflessness are rare qualities
My dear, I have found them in you
Dignity dwells in your heart, shining like the sun
No one can corrupt or wither it
Your heart's depths are pure
Never losing its radiance, like a shining star
Wherever I go, it is your love that guides me
Yes, your friendship is a treasure that will never fade
I will always cherish it
No matter how much the world changes, I know that you will always be there for me
Never a dull moment, always ready to brighten my day
May I always deserve the affection and loyalty you give me
Yeh!
Oh, my dear friend!
Never losing its radiance, like a shining star
Wherever I go, it is your love that guides me
Yes, your friendship is a treasure that will never fade
I will always cherish it
No matter how much the world changes, I know that you will always be there for me
May I always deserve the affection and loyalty you give me
True friendship is a rare and precious thing
Not to be taken for granted, but cherished and nurtured
Let us be a beacon of hope for each other, in this often dark and lonely world
Let our friendship be a light that shines brightly, guiding us through life's challenges
Through thick and thin, we will always be there for each other
Our bond is unbreakable
Together we will face whatever life throws our way
Don't worry, my friend, I will always be here for you
We are two halves of a whole, inseparable and complete
Let us celebrate our friendship, a gift that will last a lifetime
We are meant to be together, through good times and bad
Our friendship will endure, no matter what life throws our way
Oh my dear friend, oh my dear friend, oh my dear friend
Friend, friend, friend, hey!
