B.J. Thomas – That's What Friends Are For lyrics
Friends are like music
Sometimes they're sad
Sometimes they're lonely
And need to be told that they're loved
Everyone needs to be loved

Friends are like good wine
And I've had the best
I don't always show it
But no one knows better than I

[Chorus:]
So drink up
I'm a homesick old sailor
Who longs for the sound
Of his own front door
Tell me your stories
I'll teach you my songs
And we'll have one more

Isn't that what friends are for
Isn't that what friends are for

Friends are like warm clothes
In the night air
Best when they're old
And we miss 'em the most when they're gone
Miss 'em the most when they're gone

Friends love your good side
And live with your bad
They want you and need you
When no one else knows you're alive

[Repeat chorus]

Isn't that what friends are for
Isn't that what friends are for

[Repeat chorus 4x to fade]
