So many friends have come and gone like you have done I meet them for a while between the rain and snow Like birds of passage sheltering from a stormy sky We get to know each other while the clouds pass by They always leave a little of themselves behind A tenderness and sympathy so hard to find They listen to my troubles with a look so wise But often there's a touch of sadness in their eyes Like you, you came to me, from the storm You came to me and I kept you warm So many friends of mine before have done the same They go away from me as quickly as they came Their hearts are full of tenderness and love to share With all the lonely people they meet everywhere Who knows exactly what the future has in store? One thing I know for certain, I've got one friend more A friend in need will always find a friend in you Maybe some day when I'm alone you'll see me through Some day, I'll come to you from the storm I'll come to you and you'll keep me warm
