My One True Friend

My One True Friend
© Bette Midler

Oh, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way
I can see the joy in simple things
The silent sky
And all the songs we used to sing

CHORUS
I have want, and I have prayed
I could forgive
And we could start again
In the end
You are my one true friend

Verse 2
For all, all the times you've closed your eyes
Allowing me to stumble or to be surprised
By life
With all its twists and turns
I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn
And when I left, it's you who stayed
You always knew that I'd come home again
In the end, you are my one true friend

Though love may break, it never dies
It changes shape through changing eyes
What I denied I now can see
You always were the light inside of me

I know, I know, I know, I know it was you...

CHORUS
I have want, and I have prayed
I could forgive
And we could start again
In the end
You are my one true friend

My one true friend
I always, always knew
I always knew that it was you
My one true friend
