A Friend

The song "A Friend" is a late 1980s Filipino ballad that was recorded by Filipino balladeer Keno. It talks about having a true friend that guides, cares, enlivens, shares and corrects mistakes in a loving way. The last verse of the song seems to imply a relationship that is more than just a friend, which is having a life-long partner.

A Friend

I've still been searching
And long have I waited
For someone to like me as me
To laugh with, to cry with
To be just beside with
A friend that's who I need

To fight with, make up with
To know that you need them
Believing that they need you, too
To walk hand in hand with
To argue, to talk with
A friend that's who I need

And even though I make mistakes
And never do anything right
A smile, a hug, can change all that
And everything will be alright

Someone who'll share all my dreams and ambitions
Someone who'll love me as me
I need this person, someone to rely on
A friend that's who I need
A friend that's who I need
