(One) Man's Best Friend
He's been a friend of mine since the dawn of time
Or so it feels
Always there beside me, there always to guide me
And keep it real
The one who tucks me in at night
And wakes me in the morn
Who helps me when I'm tempest tossed
And keeps me safe from harm
He doesn't ask a lot of me, not from where I stand
Just a little tenderness
And a gentle hand
I wonder how this came about
Why he's chosen me
To have him be in my life
My perfect company
I know one day soon he'll be no more
I see pain in his eyes
His troubles now I can't ignore
I hear his gentle cries
I do not know how I'll survive
Without him there beside me
Without him there to lead the way
Without him there to guide me
He's been a friend of mine since the dawn of time
Through all of my endeavors
Though someday soon he'll be gone
He'll stay in my heart forever
