So many memories and so many miles
The road that stretches behind us
We've had some laughter
And our share of tears
But all these moments unite us
I'll be your friend for a lifetime
Against the wind and the rain
Of every season
Won't walk away in the hard times
I will be your friend
I'm saying I will be your friend
Sue as the river runs to the sea
High as the mountain that reaches
You were there by my side till the end
(And)helped me one my feet again
So in the valley walk on
Don't have to face it alone
Cause in the hard times
We keep growing strong
As we learn as we live
That we live when we give
