Friend Like You Lyrics - Singles - John Mcdermott

I don't have to look any further 

Like I always used to do 

No searching for some other unknown mystic lover 

Now I've found the perfect friend in you 

There are those I've known for a lifetime 

Others, they're brand new 

They come through lucky chance, 

Some from brief romances 

They'd all love to have a friend like you 

But you took me by suprise 

I wasn't ready for you 

Something flashed before my eyes 

Suddenly I adored you, adored you 

I was never terminal lonely 

From my sheltered point of view 

My life was kind of simple, I hadn't built a temple 

Dedicated to a friend like you 

On the way from cradle to tombstone 

There may be a lucky few 

Who sail through life untroubled, 

Floating on the bubbles 

In the wake of special friends like you 

When you took me by surprise 

I couldn't help but allow 

One day vague, the next day wise 

To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow 

You took me by surprise 

I wasn't thinking of you 

Suddenly realized 

How much I really loved you, I love you 

Now I don't need to look any further 

Like I always used to do 

No searching for some unknown mystic lover 

Now I've found the perfect friend in you 

Now I've found the perfect friend in you 

Oh my perfect friend how I love you
