Time is short when a friend is around, Friends are the air, Friends never say goodbye, try; Friendship's the only thing to stay, All the way, all the way, When I'm lost, and I'm driven to tears, I have my friends, they always bring me cheers, If right or wrong they'll tell you so Yes they will, yes they will Chorus And when I'm ill, I call my friends And when I'm ill, Worried world no more, Oh! No worry at all Friends I've lost, I still feel them around Yes I feel, yes I feel.
