Whenever I need a friend
It's you that I come round to seeing again
You know that I'll always be near
You're flesh and blood and you're my memory

Live on in my memory
I send you nothing but love
Just wait and see
I send you nothing but love
Just wait for me
wait and see
wait and see

Right words, you know all the right words to say
You don't always mean them my way
You don't always mean what you say

Whenever I need a friend
It's you that I come round to seeing again
And everything that you do
Is everything I wouldn't ask of you

You can ask me too

I send you nothing but love
Just wait and see
I send you nothing but love
Just wait for me
wait and see
wait and see

Right words, you know all the right words to say
You don't have to mean them my way
We don't have to mean all we say
