Track byRoy Eldridge/Dizzy Gillespie
I can be friends with you There's no better friend that a man can know I can be friends with you And I feel so special 'Cause it's you I know I don't know the governor Even though I'm a resident I don't rub shoulders with the dignities Or shake hands with the President And I know I can be with you And I don't have to wait in line You're the author and creator of all the world And a personal friend of mine When I have a problem I can always come to You Regardless of the situation I know You know what to do You put Your arm around and speak so tenderly And I feel better just to know You care And you took the time for me Greater love has no man than this That a man lay his life down for his friend But You laid down for all the world to see And You proved Your love for me I'm no special person I've got nothing to offer You But You treat me like I'm the only one With whom you have to do You're closer than a brother And You're with me every day I love You 'cause You first loved me And I'm glad that I can say
