You, You have always been there Throughout the darkest hours of depression and despair When the load seemed heavier than I could bear Please don't ever turn away You, You have been my friend through all the years You have helped me fight my fears And you have wiped away my tears Please don't ever turn away I, I need your friendship still I need your love and I always will Only you understand how I really feel Please don't ever turn away I, I will always be here for you With a love that is so deep and true And I will do whatever you want me to I won't ever turn away I, I can see the pain in your eyes I can hear the hurt when you cry I can feel the fear when you say goodbye No I won't ever turn away How long can one soul ache How many times can one heart break How much sadness can one person take Without the love of a special friend?
