If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could, I would build a mountain
You could call your very own -
A place to find serenity,
A place just to be alone.
If I could, I would take your troubles
And toss them into the sea;
But all these things
I'm finding, are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair;
But let me be what I know best:
A Friend who's always there!
I promise to defend you,
Should the occasion ever arise;
And I promise to wipe away the tears,
Which might stream from your weeping eyes.
Let me be the trusted Friend;
The one that you know best.
I will never leave you....
On that - you can surely rest.
