A Friend Like You

[Intro]

As I look back at my life

As I move on through the year

Every time I reminisce

One thing rings out loud and clear

[Verse 1]

I'm so grateful

A friend like you

You're the one who helps me make it through

All my dreams and

All my hopes to satisfy

I was lost

What could I do?

None of my wishes ever came through

You were there

You were there for me

[Chorus: Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson & Paul McCartney]

A friend like you

A friend like you

You simplify me

You stand beside me

A friend like you

A friend like you

You mystify me

You lullaby me

[Verse 2]

You have courage

You risk it all

Pick me up and every time I fall

You inspire me

Every day of my life

I was broken

So torn in two

You showed me kindness

Finally you broke through

All my problems

All my troubles just dissolve

[Bridge: Brian Wilson & Paul McCartney]

Ooh

Friend like you, ooh

A friend like you

A friend like you, a friend like you

A friend like you, a friend like you

A friend like you

[Chorus: Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson & Paul McCartney]

A friend like you

A friend like you

You are patient

You are thoughtful

A friend like you

A friend like you

You're so tender

You're so precious

[Verse 3]

I was crushed

Against the wall

I turned to you

I felt so small

So unselfish

So warm and caring are you

You have courage

You risk it all

Pick me up and every time I fall

You inspire me

Every day of my life

[Outro]

As I look back at my life

As I move on through the years

Every time I reminisce

One thing rings out loud and clear
