Am7              B       Em
What a friend we have in time
Am7                 B      Em
Gives us children, makes us wine
Am7               B       Em    C
Tells us what to take or leave behind

Am7                B     Em
And the gifts of growing old
Am7              B     Em  
Are the stories to be told
Am7              B     Em         C
Of the feelings more precious than gold
F  G  A

	   A              Bm7          E
	Friends I will remember you, think of you
	  D      A
	Pray for you
 	      A           Bm7
	And when another day is through
	       E                    Am
	I'll still be friends with you

Am7            B     Em
Babies days are never long
Am7                B     Em
Mother's laugh is baby's song
Am7              B      Em    C
Gives us all the hope to carry on
F  G  A
	   A              Bm7          E

 	      A           Bm7

	I'll still be friends with you
