Friends really are the frosting on the cake of life;
They love us on our good days or in times of strife.
They always are so ready to lend a helping hand

And if we are troubled they're sure to understand.

Chorus:

Promise me I can count on you
'Cause on you I can always depend.
Promise me I can count on you

It's only you that I need until the very bitter end.
Promise me I can count on you
To stay in my heart forever because you're my best friend.


Having friends is wondrous; they enrich us everyday
And help to lessen burdens as we travel on our way.

So I give thanks for friendship the old ones and the new
For they are of great value and to them I am most true.


Repeat Chorus

Promise me I can count on you

To stay by my side through dismay
Because you're my best friend.
