I'll need time to get you off my mind
and I may sometimesbother you
try to be in touch with you
even ask too much of you

fromtime to time.

Now and then
Lord, you know I'll need a friend
till Iget used to losing you
let me keep on using you
till I can make it on myown.

I'll get by but no matter how I try
there'll be times you knowI'll call
chances are, my tears will fall
and I'll have no pride atall
from time to time.

But they say
oh, there'll be a brighterday
but till then I lean on you
that's all I mean to do
till I can makeit on my own.

Surely, someday I'll look up
and see the morningsun
without another lonely night behind me
then I'll know I'm overyou
and all my crying's done
no more hurting memories can findme.

But till then ...
Lord, you know, I'm gonna need a friend
tillI get used to losing you ...
