Friend Like You Lyrics

I don't have to look any further
Like I always used to do
No searching for some other unknown mystic lover
Now I've found the perfect friend in you
There are those I've known for a lifetime
Others, they're brand new
They come through lucky chance,
Some from brief romances
They'd all love to have a friend like youBut you took me by suprise
I wasn't ready for you
Something flashed before my eyes
Suddenly I adored you, adored youI was never terminal lonely
From my sheltered point of view
My life was kind of simple, I hadn't built a temple
Dedicated to a friend like youOn the way from cradle to tombstone
There may be a lucky few
Who sail through life untroubled,
Floating on the bubbles

In the wake of special friends like youWhen you took me by surprise
I couldn't help but allow
One day vague, the next day wise
To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrowYou took me by surprise
I wasn't thinking of you
Suddenly realized
How much I really loved you, I love youNow I don't need to look any further
Like I always used to do
No searching for some unknown mystic lover
Now I've found the perfect friend in you
Now I've found the perfect friend in you
Oh my perfect friend how I love you
