Elisten close, as close as AI am to yoEu
Elike the bell of lAiberty, Ill riH7ng a sound thats truEe
Eand days go by and seAasons tEoo
Ein time our love may dAigress with the wH7ords we can reEnew
C#mIll teH7ll you that IE  
C#mI loH7ve you by and bEy
C#mI dont knH7ow if Id surviEve
C#mwithout H7a friend like you in my lEife
and I know words can be the worst to purvey
how it is I feel for you its hard for me to say
but if we keep it simple I think its better that way
tangled words tend to lead my messages astray
Ill tell you that I
I love you by and by
I dont know if Id survive
without a friend like you in my life
this web we weave holds us hand in hand
and if we loosen our grips we may weaken these strands
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
and if we dont we may find ourselves washed up with the sand
Ill tell you that I
I love you by and by
I dont know if Id survive
without a friend like you in my life
Ill tell you that I
I love you by and by
I dont know if Id survive
without a friend like you in my life
