Of all life's treasuries

One is most preciously

Kept in my heart

And that's the loyalty of friends

And family gathered 'round

And making joyous sounds

Familiar voices warm the heart

I find myself alone and feelin' blue

Then I know what to do

I phone my friends in melancholy

And then sometimes I'm filled with doubt

Something will chase it out

It's having friends their faith will win it out

The problems that we face

Are easier to take when you have friends

To share the ways and how you knew

That they will share the load

And you can always go by day or night

You know that you're with folk of course

I know that some of you

Can't think of any who

You might call friend

But listen and I'll tell you that

You've heard it said before

And of it's truth I'm more

Convinced that you have friends just be one

No thing comes even close

To what we treasure most

Then to be with friends

No thing comes even close

To what we treasure most

Then to be with friends

No thing comes even close

To what we treasure most

Then to be with friends

No thing comes even close

To what we treasure most

Then to be with friends
