You Are The Meaning Of Friend - Kool & The Gang

I remember seventeen

Young in love and chasing a dream

We said we would last forever

Life would offer no guarantees

Time would promise no certainties

The only thing for sure was you and me

Hey, baby

You are the meaning of friend

Hey, sugar

You’ve been true till the end

Years leave a path of history

Weaving stories of intimacy

Telling tales about you and me, together

We’ve been through some cloudy days

I can’t tell you in enough ways

When things were gray, you gave me hope, for better

And love, love that you know

That you are living as the wind it calls

It’s the very seed that fills life to us all

And you, you define the word

The word «giving», love without bounds

And time upon time, you never let me down

Hey, baby

You are the meaning of friend

Hey, sugar

You have been true till the end

Every change that I’ve been through

Has dragged you along too

I’m sure it wasn’t easy for you

Here we are at the threshold of night

The intensity feels so right

The dream at seventeen came true alright, alright

Hey, baby

You are the meaning of friend

Hey, sugar

You’ve been true till the end

Hey, baby

You are the meaning of friend

Hey, sugar

You’ve been true till the end
