EVEN THE BEST OF
FRIENDS
Words and Music by
Randy Stonehill

Even the best of friends
Give in sometimes to their darker
side
Put up a wall of stubborn pride
Not willing to make amends
Even the best of friends
Betray your trust in a moment of
anger
And it's so easy to point a finger
And that's how it all begins
With even the best of friends

Even the best of friends
Don't always see things eye to eye
Won't always understand just
why
But that's when they should try to
bend
Even the best of friends
They need to cling to their
common ground
Before the hurt starts coming
down
And they can't turn around again
Even the best of friends

You and I
We paid so many dues
I still remember those happy,
hungry days
Makes me cry
'cause I can't get through to you
What did I do to make you turn
away

Even the best of friends
Have to speak though the truth
might sting
Though it's hard it's the loving
thing
The only way wounds will mend
Even the best of friends
They have to learn to forgive each
other
Take all the faults that true love
covers
And just let them go in the wind
Even the best of friends
Even the best of friends
Even the best of friends
