Friends
Packin’ up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of youth
I can’t believe the hopes He’s granted
Means a chapter in
our lives is through
But we’ll keep you close, as always
It won’t even seem you’ve gone
‘Cause our hearts
in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Whoa ho, friends are friends forever
If the Lord’s the Lord of them
And friends will not say never
‘Cause the welcome will not end
Though it’s hard to let you go
In the Father’s hands we know
That a lifetime’s not too long
To live as friends
With the faith and love God’s given
Springing from the hopes
we know, (we know)
We will praise the joy you live in
(You live in)
Is the strength that now you show
(you show)
We’ll keep you close, as always
It won’t even seem you’ve gone
(you've gone)
‘Cause our hearts
in big and small ways
Will keep the love that
keeps us strong
(that keeps us strong)
Oh, friends are friends forever
If the Lord’s the Lord of them
And friends will not say never
‘Cause the welcome will not end
Though it’s hard to let you go
In the Father’s hands we know
That a lifetime’s not too long
(not too long)
To live as friends
Oh, friends are friends forever
If the Lord’s the Lord of them
And friends will not say never
‘Cause the welcome will not end
Though it’s hard to let you go
(let you go)
In the Father’s hands we know
That a lifetime’s not too long
(not too long)
To live as friends
(live as friends)
A lifetime’s not too long
(not too long)
To live as friends
My brothers and I have performed this song for years. It really emphasizes the importance of being a friends, whether you’re in a family situation or not. We have made many great friendships with numerous fans throughout the years. It is also wonderful to see how many of our fans have developed friendships with each other. This song brings a reality to the fact that life is really short, and that being a friend is so very important. I never get tired of hearing or singing it. I hope you will always keep its message close to you. - Jay Osmond
