A great song, that is literally just out and I hope it gets the airplay it 
deserves - I also hope I've done it justice here!
Eif you say up - i say down
Ewe're the most unlikely pair
Ebut up or down, high or low
Eyou've always been right there
Eyou've been a Afriend to me, a godEsend to me
i aFmin't too proud to Bsay
you've been a friend to Eme
Enow if i'm feeling lowdown
Eor feeling ten feet tall
Ethick or thin, the shape i'm in
Edon't matter to you at all
Eyou've been a Afriend to me, a godEsend to me
i aFmin't too proud to Bsay
you've been a friend to Eme
Awhenever I needed someone
