There's nobody on the end of my line

I'm in time but somebody's missing

Maybe I can find a hand for my hand

If I find a well for my wishing

Be my friend, be my friend



It gets lonely on a table for two

Laughing on your own can be no fun

Even people that are talking to you

Remind you that you're really with no-one

Be my friend, be my friend



Take me over like a thing from the past

Lots of people wishing they'd been there

No-one knowing just how long it would last

But I'm sitting still here in my chair

Be my friend, be my friend



Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care

Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care

Problems halved are the problems that we can share

White lies in our eyes, together not really there



Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me

Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me

Though it's taken a long time for you to see

Where we're at is the right place for us to be



I sure want to stay here, it sure feels fine

I feel I could be here a long long time

Now that I've made it, I don't want to fade it

Now that I've made it with you



We came a long way, a slow way too

Up from the down way and back to you

Now that I've made it I don't want to fade it

Now that I've made it with you
