Friendship Is a Diamond
Friendship is a diamond buried in the earth,
A treasure of great worth.
But first it must be mind,
Then faceted and shined.
It takes pick and shovel and strain,
Enjoy passing time and enduring pain,
Until its grace is seen.
A glittering gift of love.
That’s shared between us three:
First God, and you, then me.
Close to you
Why do birds suddenly appear,
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
On that day when you were born,
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true.
So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold.
And starlight in your eyes of blue,
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
