In these days
When people pass by you
On the street
Heads down, eyes averted
Never saying, "Good day!"
Or asking how you are
It's nice to have a friend
Like you

It's nice to say, "Hello!"
"Glad to see you!"
"Let's chat awhile!"
It's nice to have a friend
Like you

In these days
When people just don't have time
To be caring
Watches ticking, fingers tapping
Forgetting those in need
Strangers and neighbors alike
It's nice to have a friend
Like you

It's nice to stop and help
Show some patience
Lend a hand
It's nice to have a friend
Like you

In these days
When people honk at you
In their cars
Voices raised, fists shaking
Or rude clerks in the store
Who just can't be bothered
It's nice to have a friend
Like you

It's nice to share a smile
Share a laugh
Share a cry
It's nice to have a friend
Like you

In these days
It's nice
So very nice

To have a friend
Like you
