You've Been a Friend to Me

You've Been a Friend to Me - The Carter Family

My spark of life was spinning down

The troubled seas of time

When first I saw your smiling face

And youth was in its prime

Oh I'll never forget you

Wherever I roam wherever you may be

If ever I have had a friend

You've been that friend to me

Misfortune nursed me as her child

And loved me fondly too

I would have had a broken heart

Had it not have been for you

Oh I'll never forget you

Wherever I roam wherever you may be

If ever I have had a friend you've been

That friend to me

I now look back upon the past across

Life's troubled sea

And smile to think thru all I've seen you've

Been a friend to me

Oh I'll never forget you

Wherever I roam wherever you may be

If ever I have had a friend you've been

That friend to me
