The Help of My Friends by Gary Fry - Robert Krebill piano/vocal cover

LYRICS:

The beginning seems so long ago
I thought these times would never end
But here we stand together, one last time
And I remember good times and my friends

We started out alone and unaware
Lost in a world we couldn’t see
When I reached out for someone, you were there
With the friendship I needed so desperately

What lies ahead for me I cannot say
But looking back I realize that all along the way

When I laughed, when I cried
If I failed when I tried
I always had the help
Of my friends

Sometimes you gave an understanding ear
Sometimes a helping hand I found
And sometimes I was drowning in a sea of doubt
And you led me back to solid ground

Even when I was out there on my own,
I always knew that thanks to you I’d never be alone

Oh when I changed, when I grew
When I moved on, you were there too
I always had the help
Of my friends

Things will never be the same
I know others will enter my heart
But I want you to know
That I won’t forget you when we part

And though it’s sad to leave these times behind
The memories of you and me will still be on my mind
No better friend will I ever find

When I laughed, when I cried
If I failed when I tried
I always had the help
Of my friends
I always had my friends

When I smiled, when I had fun
When I lost or when I won
I always had the help
Of my friends
