Some say they’ll never leave you
Others say they won’t let you down
They say they’ll be around until the end of time
And when you needed them not a one can be found
That’s not necessarily so
You may watch some friends come and go
I said that’s not necessarily so
With the love of my Lord
People gone but not forgotten
You wonder where the old crowd went
Lazy married moved or just plain out of touch
And forgotten what friendship meant
That’s not necessarily so
You may watch some friends come and go
I said that’s not necessarily so
With the love of the Lord
Oh, he won’t leave you
when you need a shoulder to cry on
And he hears every word
And he wraps his loving arms around you
Some say that they’ll never leave you
Others say they won’t let you down
They said they’d be around until the end of time
And when you needed them not a one can be found
That’s not necessarily so
You may watch some friends come and go
I said that’s not necessarily so
With the love of my Lord
