January 1 I’m Your Friend Through the End

If you ever need a friend
who will love you through the end
I’m your friend
through the end
I’m your friend.

If you ever need love
that fits you like a glove
I’m your love
like a glove--
I’m your love.


If you fly through the sky
I will fly near by.
If you fall from the sky
I will glide
by your side.

So wherever we go--
even when we’re like foes,
we are friends
loving friends
through the end
