Night time when you snuggle up to my breast
And look at me with those eyes full of rest
Rivers of peace flow their way through my soul
Bright stars of hope twinkle out in the cold
Oh what a warm feeling it is to hold you
What kind of wisdom will it take to mould you
Into the young man gentle and kind
Strong and courageous, contented and divine
All our days will spin ahead
And maybe time will prove it's kind
And when it's all been done and said
Say we'll be friends for a lifetime
The world will entice you and string you along
It has no regard for what's right or what's wrong
But I promise to guide you in truth from the start
But I pray that we'll forever be bound to your heart
Take all your chances but watch where you're going
Remember you'll reap all the seeds that you're sowing
You keep on following after your dreams
And I'll let you know what the obstacles mean
All our days will spin ahead
And maybe time will prove it's kind
And when it's all been done and said
Say we'll be friends
Say we'll be friends for a lifetime
And look at me with those eyes full of rest
Rivers of peace flow their way through my soul
Bright stars of hope twinkle out in the cold
Oh what a warm feeling it is to hold you
What kind of wisdom will it take to mould you
Into the young man gentle and kind
Strong and courageous, contented and divine
All our days will spin ahead
And maybe time will prove it's kind
And when it's all been done and said
Say we'll be friends for a lifetime
The world will entice you and string you along
It has no regard for what's right or what's wrong
But I promise to guide you in truth from the start
But I pray that we'll forever be bound to your heart
Take all your chances but watch where you're going
Remember you'll reap all the seeds that you're sowing
You keep on following after your dreams
And I'll let you know what the obstacles mean
All our days will spin ahead
And maybe time will prove it's kind
And when it's all been done and said
Say we'll be friends
Say we'll be friends for a lifetime
