BEST FRIEND, BOY
He helped me though a hard time
As I crossed the burning bridges of fear
I was trying so hard to fly away
But I could feel him drawing near
He was more like parent to me
He gave me warmth and joy
He was sweet – my best friend, boy
He told me that I was beautiful
In many different ways
I always thanked him politely
Never believed a word he said
It was the first time that those magic words
Were ever meant for me
He knew I'd been dishonest
But he treated me with dignity
So dear to me he was, he gave me warmth and joy
He was sweet – my best friend, boy
So dear to me he was, he gave me warmth and joy
He was sweet – my best friend, boy
You know the way the story goes
It's never what you expect
The noise of the world was calling him
Now he's gone, he left
And here, when struggling with the restless heart
In the world of grief and joy
I remember him – my best friend, boy
So dear to me he was
He gave me warmth and joy
He was sweet
My best friend, boy
