Your Best Friend

I'm going to be the best friend you ever had. 
I'm going to listen to you like no one has 
Even if I might be too busy. 
I'm going to be there when it counts 
Not this time, but every time you need it. 

I'm going to be your buddy, lifting you up 
Whether I have the strength to or not. 
I'm going to treat you like it's your birthday 
Not that day, but every single day of the year. 

I'll listen to you 
I'll offer you advice 
I'll play with you 
Sometimes letting you win 
I'll be there for you 
When you're filled up with strife 
I'll pray for you 
When you're struggling in life 

I'm going to be the 
best friend you've ever had. 
This day, the next and forever... 
Why? 
Because that's the kind of 
friend you are for me.
