For A Friend...

In the words of Billy Joel...

Don't go changing, to try and please me

You never let me down before

Don't imaging you're too familiar

And I don't see you anymore 

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble 

We never could have come this far 

I took the good times, I'll take the bad times 

I'll take you just the way you are 

Don't go trying some new fashion 

Don't change the color of your hair 

You always have my unspoken passion 

Although I might not seem to care 

I don't want clever conversation 

I never want to work that hard 

I just want someone that I can talk to 

I want you just the way you are. 

I need to know that you will always be 

The same old someone that I knew 

What will it take till you believe in me 

The way that I believe in you. 

I said I love you and that's forever 

And this I promise from the heart 

I could not love you any better 

I love you just the way you are. 

Always have, always will.
