Diane Warren - Somebody Else's Friend lyrics

A friend is like finding a treasure Like discovering a seashell along the shore And they fill the emptiness of the heart with happiness galore! A friend is considered extra-special; Someone who's loyal and cares When our heart seems to be breaking And life's cupboards are empty and bare They hold out a hand and hold on Even if distance separates and sends away For there's a warmth that ever lingers between true friends In every country and every culture it forever stays When crocodiles and snakes eat you up alive Or your body's been beaten up black-and-blue Been bruised, broken and battered Leaving your vision and memory physically impaired Just look into the magic mirror And you will see somebody new Who can pick up the pieces of your broken heart that can mend Chorus: From the day you were born, you hold a special place in my heart You've been my treasure, my pride and joy, my destiny And most of all you are love Wherever life takes you, you'll always be somebody else's friend Pity like Humpty Dumpty the hero takes a fall And with every pa**ing day all the king's men and horses Will never again put him back together the way he used to be When there's no one there to help lift him up But two are better than one Because they for their labor have a good return If anyone falls to pieces The One who can raise him up is somebody else's friend Friendship is sacrificing for another who's precious to you It's offering a small portion of yourself "Cause your heart tells you the right thing to do A friend is a smile, a cheer or two Someone who listens with love You know you've discovered a friend nearby When it feels as if an angel was sent from above Friendship is so special and I believe it was created on earth To reveal that all are precious it brings out true values and worth When you're caught in a hit-and-run since you tripped on a rocky road And you have a feeling you suffer from a chip on your shoulder Wondering if there's a neighbor who's always there for you in time of need Just look into the magic mirror And you will see somebody else's friend who can bring hope to an empty shell Repeat Chorus
