Once in a blue moon
you find some friends
(or they find you)
Who stand with you
through ups and downs
thick and thinWho laugh at your jokes
dance in your happiness
drink to life and loveWho sit with you in tragedy
hold you when you are afraid
brush away your tearsWho love you
just the way you are
no matter whatOnce in a blue moon
you find some friends
(or they find you)True blue friends
