Friends Will Be Friends-Charlotte Church
Elton John · Other Songs - Elton John
It's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
Tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now, cos' you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand, friends will be friends
Right till the end

The track exemplifies John's signature style, blending lush orchestration with a narrative that resonates with listeners who have experienced the transition from close companionship to distant acquaintance.
