listen close, as close as I am to you
like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew

oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life

and I know words can be the worst to pervey
how it is I feel for you, it's hard for me to say
but if we keep it simple, I think it's better that way
tingled words tend to lead my messages astray

oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by

without a friend like you in my life

this web we weave
holds us hand in hand
and if we loosen our grips
we may weaken these strands
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
and if we don't we may find ourselves washed up with the sand

oh, i'll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don't know if I'd survive
without a friend like you in my life

listen close, as close as I am to you
like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
and days go by and seasons too
