So many friends have come and
gone like you have done
I meet them for awhile between
the rain and sun
Like birds of passage sheltering
from a stormy sky
We get to know each other while
the clouds pass by

They always leave a little of
themselves behind
A tenderness and sympathy
so hard to find
They listen to my troubles
with a look so wise
But often there's a touch of
sadness in their eyes

Like you, you came to me
from the storm
You came to me and I kept
you warm

So many friends of mine before
have done the same
They go away from me as quickly
as they came
Their hearts are full of tenderness
and love to share
With other lonely people they meet
everywhere

Who knows exactly what the future
has in store
One thing I know for certain, I've
got one friend more
A friend in need will always find a
friend in you
Maybe someday when I'm alone
you'll see me through

Someday, I'll come to you from
the storm
I'll come to you and you'll keep
me warm
