Norm Crouse - What Friends Are For Lyrics

She had a sense of gentle play. She had an ever ready smile
She had a certain arch of eye that lingered for a while
She wore her feelings on her face. Showed an unexpected bit of grace
That made me stop and stare
She had a way of muting fear. An unassuming way to hear
That made me want to share

There wasn't one particular thing that stuck with me or haunted
But somewhere in the mix I found a friendship that I wanted

You might see a way to grow if someone plants a seed
Might see what you really want if someone lights the need
You don't know you've done much less till someone shows you more
That's when you realize that's what friends are for
That's what friends are for. That's what friends are for

He had an easy way to laugh - Had an eye for beauty
Had a certain way to make me see that we all owed a duty
He showed his feelings with his hands
To draw me into all his plans
And make me play a part
He had a subtle way of proving
That I'd be so much better moving
And make me want to start

There wasn't one particular thing that he told me or I heeded
But somewhere in the mix I found a friendship that I needed

You might see a way to grow if someone plants a seed
Might see what you really want if someone lights the need
You don't know you've done much less till someone shows you more
That's when you realize that's what friends are for
That's what friends are for. That's what friends are for
