Everybody Needs a Friend Lyrics

von Mark-Almond

Old man sittin' in the park
Trying to while away the hours
And every day he feeds the birds
In sunshine and in shower
Old man were you once like me?
Always wondering what was 'round the bend
I see you feed the birds, I guess everyone needs a friend

There she sits in her favorite bar
And its only lunchtime
Divorcee gay and forty-four
Wondering how he could be so unkind?
All the years she gave to him
They're gone and never to be again
I see her drink her wine
I guess everyone needs a friend

Everyone needs a friend
To make it all worthwhile
It makes it all worthwhile

Young girl in the record store
And she's still there at closing
Substituting father's love
For rock and roll stars and supposing
In her dreams of movie screens
That never seem to end
I hear the records play
I guess everyone needs a friend

Everyone needs a friend
To make it all worthwhile
It makes it all worthwhile

There he stands on the stage
The band around him playing
Nervous fingers 'round the mike
He hears himself singing
Thank you folks, the show is through
They applaud him to the end...

Everyone needs a friend
