Friend of Mine

Track 14
Friend of Mine

Friend of mine...I'd like to call you a friend of mine.
Although we only met a day or two ago,
I still want you to know that I like you
And I want you to be a friend of mine.

And may I say, "I think you're really swell!"
And someday I hope to know you well.
And as the time goes by I'm really gonna try
To be with you and to have you as a friend of mine!

Friendship is so very like a beautiful flow'r.
It takes time, it takes patience to grow.
Then all at once before your eyes some wonderful power
Makes it blossom and glisten and glow...so

Friend of mine...please let me call you a friend of mine.
Perhaps there'll come a time when friendship turns to love.
That's all I'm dreaming of...
Now I just like you and I'd love you to be a friend of mine!

Instrumental Interlude

Friendship is so very like a beautiful flow'r.
It takes time, it takes patience to grow.
Then all at once before your eyes some wonderful power
Makes it blossom and glisten and glow...so

Now I just like you and I'd love you to be a friend of mine!
