These Friends of Mine - Rosie Thomas

These friends of mine live their lives

Spend their time, hoping to find

But who they are and how they are made

They may be there, hope you find your way

These friends of mine, they have wives

They work hard to love and write

And when they left, it makes me high

To take a trip ten thousand miles

before they fly

These friends of mine, they feel alone

When the shows are over,

don t know where to go

In Philadelphia at Christimas time

They question those, wonder why they try

And when the show is over

How I hope that they discover

the joy that they bring

And I hope they remember this bond

we have together

And oh, they love to sing

These friends of mine,

they are from New York

There were raised in Michigan

They don t know things,

they don t hold hands

They guard their hards the best they can

And when the show is over

How I hope that they discover

the joy that they bring

And I hope they remember this bond

we have together

Oh, they love to sing,

they sure love to sing

Maybe I needed this time

to be reminded for myself

Maybe I needed this time

to be reminded for myself

How I love to sing.
