I can’t always be there to hold you in the night,
And I could never promise that we won’t ever fight.
But I will always love you, on that you can depend,
For when you’re my lover, you’ll still be my best friend.
I’ll always try to help you believe my love is strong,
But I won’t lie and tell you that nothing could go wrong.
Still, I’ll be there beside you to help your heartaches mend,
For I’m convinced that years from now, you’ll still be my best friend.
I thank the Lord for sending me the love I’ve found in you.
I thank you for your company and criticisms, too.
You’ve given me a brand new life, so I’ll say once again
That I intend to love you forever, my best friend.
When all my days are over, no tears will fill my eyes
As I look all around me and say my last goodbyes.
My love will never falter when life comes to an end
For there’s a place in heaven for me and my best friend.
