Livingston Taylor Good Friends
Looking up, blue sky over me
There's a soft grass 'tween my toes
Gentle spring wind blows, and
Someone's saying, "There's that face again
I'd know that face anywhere
And I'd know he'll be a friend
To me, he won't hurt or treat me bad
He'll be the best friend I've ever had."
People young and old saying
"Please take hold
Of a hand that's icy cold
Teach my face to look bold
Give me reason to live again
Givе my face a soft warm smile
Talk and be my friеnd awhile."
They need, well, a friend who's strong and true
They feel that there's nothing they can do
To change the bad times
Rearrange the bad lines
Mix with all kinds of people
Friends who'll be kind
Like me 'cause I don't really mind
Where you're going and
What you've been through
I will cool you out with love and kindness
If that's what I need to do
Or give you places to begin
And I'll stick by you through thick and thin
Give you comfort, be your friend
I've got lots of love throughout my soul
A lot of good heart that won't turn
Icy cold if the bad times roll in
And give you second chances again and again
And see that you're able to blend right in
With all kinds of people
Taking good with evil
And I'm looking up, blue sky over me
There's a soft grass 'tween my toes
A gentle spring wind blows
Ooh blow on by my life
