That friend of mine wears an old work shirt For a long long time she has blessed this earth And a smile that shines even when she hurts O how I love that friend of mine That friend of mine gave her heart to me How sweet and kind the truth can be And God's tie that binds us as family Oh how I love that friend of mine She's an angel she's the answer The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes She's drawn to me like gravity I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine She's an angel she's the answer The sweetest piece of heaven in my eyes She's drawn to me like gravity I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine I'd lay down and die for that friend of mine That friend of mine wears an old work shirt
