David Corey Best Friend in the World lyrics

Everybody needs a best friend in this world
We all need one good thing in this cruel, cruel world
That we can count on all of our lives
You sounded so alone last night and I could not help but cry

I wanted to reach out to you
And just make everything all right
I wish that I could show you just how much I truly care
All my life I promise to be there

I would be your best friend in the world
I would be the one true thing in this untrue world
And I will hold you all through the night
I will be the best friend to you, girl

You can tell me all those things
That you can't tell the world
And I will listen all through the night

I would've given anything just to wipe all your tears away
I would've walked for miles and miles all you had to do was say
If you needed me by morning light, know that I'm on my way
'Cause all my life I promise to be there

'Cause I would be your best friend in the world
I would be the one good thing in this cruel, cruel world
That you can count on all of your life
I will be the best friend to you, girl


You can show me all those things
That you hide from the world
And I will be here for the rest of your life

When life's hard to understand
I'm gonna reach out my hand to you
Hold on and you'll see how much I care

'Cause everybody needs a best friend in this world
We all need one good thing in this cruel, cruel world
That we can count on all of our lives

'Cause I wanna be the best friend in the world
I wanna be the one true thing in this untrue world
Yes, I will hold you all through the night
I wanna be the best friend to you, girl

Can I be the one good thing in this cruel, cruel world?

Yes, I will be here for the rest of your life

I wanna be your best friend, would you be my best friend?
I wanna be your best friend in the world, for all of your life
