Andrew Gold - Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true,
You're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off,
Won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need
Any time of the day or night

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

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
