FRIEND TO LEND
Just keep smiling, never let anyone see your frown.
Just call me up if you are feeling down.
I will try my best to stay by your side,
And help you until you can abide.
But in return I will expect you'll do the same for me
That you will stay until once again I can see.
Please, don't run away if I am looking mad.
I just need a friend so I'll no longer be sad.
All I need is a friend,
Even if letters is all I can send.
I would be happy if I had one...
Then maybe I'll be able to again see the sun.
But even if I don't have a friend,
I'll be a friend for people to lend.
So if you need one, call me up,
I'll be glad to fill your cup;
With smiles and laughter is what I hope,
In order for you to cope.
And I won't complain for myself,
I'll be known as a helping elf.
I'll try to help and be a friend,
A friend for someone that they can lend.
I won't stay long,
Just long enough to sing my song,
And I hope it fills your cup,
With joy and such to bring you up.
