THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND Songtext / Lyric

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)

Let me tell you 'bout a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend

And when we die and float away
Into the night, the Milky Way
You'll hear me call as we ascend
I'll say your name, then once again
Thank you for being a...

(bah ba-ba bah, bah bah bah)

Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend

People let me tell you 'bout a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend

Whoa, tell you about a friend (Thank you right now for being a friend)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna tell you right now and I'll tell you again)
Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you, thank you, thank you for being a friend)
