[Chorus]
I have wasted too much time
Doing my own thing
But right now I realize
That you are my closest friend
Day and every night
You were right there
By my side
Lord I thank you
For you are me closest friend
You are my closest friend
I used to think
I could make it on my own
Until that day
I found myself all alone, oh yes
That's when you showed me
Of how much you cared, ooh Lord
When there was no one there
You were there for me, yeah
[Chorus]
Lord you loved me
(Lord you loved me)
In a special way
(in a special way)
When I pray
(when I pray)
Every night
You proved your love
For me
I see
You have been so grateful
[Chorus]
You are my closest friend
You've been someone
I could lean on, yeah yeah
You are my closest friend
Everyone that wanted
To hurt me Lord
You were right there by my side
You are my closest friend
When I needed a friend
You were to let me in, oh my my
You are my closest friend
He's a friend
Like there's no other
He's closer than a brother
You are my closest friend
It's soothing to know
That you're there by my side
Whenever I call
You are my closest friend
