2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

FRIENDS by Gene Thomas

Lyrics

When we first met in’73, who would have thought we’d still be friends, you and me?

I count on you and you count on me, and that’s the way it will always be.

For over 50 years we’ve been together, through thick and thin in all kinds of weather.

I count on you and you count on me, and that’s the way it will always be.

We’ve each had our relations over the years, but we’re still here for each other, through the laughter and tears.

I count on you and you count on me, and that’s the way it will always be.

We’ve always been just friends and nothing more, but that’s quite enough when you add up the score.

I count on you and you count on me, and that’s the way it always will be.
