Words of a Friend – Sue West
C D G
When you can’t see your way,
when you can’t hear a sound
Just close your eyes, lay your head on the ground
You’ll hear me walkin’, all the long lonesome way
You’ll hear me singing, for you, all night and day
Each time I walk down, a dark stormy lane
I try to reach home, but I’ve lost my way
Each time I feel, I’m about at my end
I’m found and I’m saved, by the words of a friend
REF. Words of a friend, can carry me along
Words of a friend, give me something to hold
Now the words of a friend, can about stop the rain
The words of a friend, are sunshine and gold
Now you are my friend, you know I am yours
We’ll walk through the night, till it rains and it pours
I will carry your load, and I know you’ve got mine
The words that you tell me, are true and they’re fine.
When life leaves me cold, with the sunset and dark
I can’t see the fire burn, can’t find the spark
It all leaves me lost, in the night and the cold
That’s when I remember, your words of gold
REF. Words of a friend, can carry me along
Words of a friend, give me something to hold
Now the words of a friend, can about stop the rain
The words of a friend, are sunshine and gold
I'll walk by your side, let me hold your hand
I will lift you high, let me help you stand
There's one thing I know, though my thoughts grow cold
The words of a friend, are sunshine and gold.
I walk through the dark, below the old trees
I fall and I stumble, sometimes to my knees
But I see a light, and a campfire ahead
I know I'll be hearing, the words of a friend.
REF. Words of a friend, can carry me along
Words of a friend, give me something to hold
Now the words of a friend, can about stop the rain
The words of a friend, are sunshine and gold
