Don Williams – You’re My Best Friend Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You placed gold on my finger
You brought love like I’ve never known
You gave life to our children
And to me a reason to go on
[Chorus]
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all you’re my best friend
[Verse 2]
When I need hope and inspiration
You’re always strong when I’m tired and weak
I could search this whole world over
You’d still be everything that I need
[Chorus]
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all you’re my best friend
[Outro]
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all you’re my best friend
