My bark of life was tossing down
The troubled stream of time,
When first I saw your smiling face,
As youth was in its prime,
CHORUS
I'll never forget where e're 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 been for you.
CHORUS
The light of hope from your bright eyes
Dispelled the clouds of strife,
And shed their rays of sunshine down
My weary path in life
CHORUS
If ever I have had a friend,
You've been that friend to me.
