"You've Been a Friend to me"
"My Bark of life was tossing down the troubled stream of time,When first I saw your smiling face, when youth was in its prime;
My days of darkness turned to light. My sorrowed heart was free.
Oh, since that time I've always found you've been a friend to me
"I'll ne'er forget where'er I roam.
Wherever I may be;
If ever I have had a friend
You've been that friend to me.
I would have had a broken heart, had it not been for you;
Kind words were whispered soft & sweet, but glad I could not be,
Until I found that you had been, a faithful friend to me.
"I'll ne'er forget &c
And throw their rays of sunshine, down my weary path of life;
I now look back upon the past, along life's stormy sea,
I smile to think, 'mid all life's scenes, you've been a friend to me.
"I'll ne'er forget &c"
With comparison look up assistance from Traditional Music Library
"The friend who holds a mirror to my face
And hiding none, is not afraid to trace
My faults, my smallest blemishes, within;
Although it seems not so, he is my friend."
And weep that trust, and that deceiving.
Than doubt one heart that if believed,
Had blest ones life with time believing."
A rest for weary pilgrims found;
They softly lie and sweetly sleep
Low in the ground.
No more disturbs their sweet repose
Than summer evenings latest sigh
That shuts the rose."
And aching heart beneath the soil,
To slumber in that dreamless bed
From all my toil.
A transient meteor in the sky;
The soul immortal as its sire,
Shall never die.
