I want to tell you
i want you to know
that however long it must be
that we are friends

i will be there for you

i want to tell you
i want you to know
that however long it must be
that we are friends

i will stand by you

i want to tell you
i want you to know
that i have made mistakes
that we can be friends

and that i will be there for you

i want to tell you
i want you to know
how beautiful you look
but we are friends

yet i will be there for you

i want to tell you
i want you to know
my darkest thoughts
but we are friends

and i will stand by you

i want to tell you
i want you to know
everything about me
but we are friends

and friends have secrets
and friends stand by each other


i want you to say
i want to hear your words
i want to know you
we are friends

and so you can?t tell me

no matter how much i cry
no matter how much you cry
no matter how many tears are shed
no matter how long it takes
no matter how much pain i share
no matter the distance between us

i will stand by you,
not with you,
for as long as it takes.

James O. Stewart
