So Many Friends (L'Amitié)

(Gérard Bourgeois/Jean-Max Rivière) adaptation anglaise Julian More



So many friends have come and gone like you have done

I meet them for a while between the rain and snow

Like birds of passage sheltering from a stormy sky

We get to know each other while the clouds pass by

They always leave a little of themselves behind

A tenderness and sympathy so hard to find

They listen to my troubles with a look so wise

But often there's a touch of sadness in their eyes, like you



You came to me, from the storm

You came to me and I kept you warm



So many friends of mine before have done the same

They go away from me as quickly as they came

Their hearts are full of tenderness and love to share

With all the lonely people they meet everywhere

Who knows exactly what the future has in store ?

One thing I know for certain, I've got one friend more

A friend in need will always find a friend in you

Maybe some day when I'm alone you'll see me through, someday



I'll come to you from the storm

I'll come to you and you'll keep me warm.
