Lyrics
0:28Of all life's treasuries
0:30One is most preciously
0:33Kept in my heart
0:35And that's the loyalty of friends
0:38And family gathered 'round
0:40And making joyous sounds
0:42Familiar voices warm the heart
0:46I find myself alone and feelin' blue
0:50Then I know what to do
0:52I phone my friends in melancholy
0:56And then sometimes I'm filled with doubt
1:00Something will chase it out
1:02It's having friends their faith will win it out
1:32The problems that we face
1:35Are easier to take when you have friends
1:39To share the ways and how you knew
1:42That they will share the load
1:45And you can always go by day or night
1:49You know that you're with folk of course
1:52I know that some of you
1:54Can't think of any who
1:57You might call friend
1:59But listen and I'll tell you that
2:02You've heard it said before
2:05And of it's truth I'm more
2:07Convinced that you have friends just be one
2:11No thing comes even close
2:18To what we treasure most
2:23Then to be with friends
2:50No thing comes even close
2:58To what we treasure most
3:03Then to be with friends
3:05No thing comes even close
3:13To what we treasure most
3:18Then to be with friends
3:40No thing comes even close
3:48To what we treasure most
3:53Then to be with friends
Of all life's treasuries One is most preciously Kept in my heart And that's the loyalty of friends And family gathered 'round And making joyous sounds Familiar voices warm the heart I find myself alone and feelin' blue Then I know what to do I phone my friends in melancholy And then sometimes I'm filled with doubt Something will chase it out It's having friends their faith will win it out The problems that we face Are easier to take when you have friends To share the ways and how you knew That they will share the load And you can always go by day or night You know that you're with folk of course I know that some of you Can't think of any who You might call friend But listen and I'll tell you that You've heard it said before And of it's truth I'm more Convinced that you have friends just be one No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends No thing comes even close To what we treasure most Then to be with friends
