Campbell, Glen - Friends Lyrics
Friends are never earned they're a gift from the loving God
And they're precious beyond human evaluation
But you dare not take them for granted or they'll lift away like a smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns they probably won't even rate an obituary
Somewhere where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They'd made the word ring with laughter down to this string of court
They're famous sensitive talented and their names are household words
And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes or in mine
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in small towns
Who is your friend he's someone who warms you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times when you're hurting beyond words
Who is your friend he's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair when no other medicine could possibly stop the pain
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Makes you realize that you're not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes in all shapes and sizes
The most important thing they have in common is their ability
To share with you your most sky splitting joys
Or your deepest most spelling ol' some sorrows for they're all your friends

Friends - Freunde - Amici
Beautiful post...Thank You!
Thank you for this precious song. It is filled with lots of food for thoughtThank You was always the two words he was brought up with and always applied them. I will always be a Campbell Kid!!!!!!!!
Constance, you are so correct friends are awesome. When I was a member of the Glen Campbell fan club back in the 80s this was always one of my favorite songs. If a person we'll listen to just the very first verse of this song, it is so very true. I'm very sorry to say I have very few friends, most of these friends I now call family. This was back in the old days I guess you could say when you could put a quarter in the Jukebox and yet good music from actual country western singers. May all of you have a very happy 2020
