That's What Friends Are For
Melodies of Friendship: A Musical Tale of Love and Togetherness
Lyrics
While you're gone
Expressing the absence of the person and setting the context for the emotions to follow.
Do you wonder how I spend my day
Wondering about how the speaker spends their day in the absence of their friend.
Thinkin' 'bout you
Constantly thinking about the absent friend.
And maybe in a special way
Suggesting a unique and special way the speaker thinks about the friend.
I can show you how I miss you more and more
Expressing a growing feeling of missing the friend and a desire to show it.
'Cause after all
Transitioning to the idea that true friends support each other.
That's what friends are for
Affirming that supporting and being there for each other is what friends are for.
Are you tired?
Checking on the friend's well-being and suggesting rest.
Do you think that you would like to nap?
Proposing a restful activity like taking a nap by the fire.
By the fire
Imagining a cozy scenario where the speaker holds the friend gently.
I will hold you gently in my lap
Expressing a desire to comfort and care for the friend.
And I'll count the minutes till you sleep no more
Counting the time until the friend sleeps, emphasizing the caring nature of the speaker.
'Cause after all
Reiterating the idea that true friends provide comfort and support.
That's what friends are for
Emphasizing that supporting each other is the essence of friendship.
All I want to do
Expressing a strong desire to improve the friend's life.
Is to make life a little better for you
Stating the speaker's commitment to making the friend's life better.
So I try so hard to keep what's ours together
Highlighting efforts to keep their shared experiences and relationship intact.
There never could be
Affirming the uniqueness and irreplaceability of the friend.
Another for me
Declaring exclusivity in the speaker's connection with the friend.
Are you hungry?
Asking about the friend's needs and expressing a willingness to fulfill them.
Do you think that you could use some wine
Suggesting the idea of sharing a meal and wine to satisfy the friend's hunger.
And the music
Inquiring about the friend's musical preferences.
Did you have a certain thing in mind?
Asking if the friend has specific preferences for the evening.
When the dinner, wine and music starts to bore
Anticipating a moment when the usual activities become less interesting.
I will fluff the pillows on the floor and more
Committing to enhance the atmosphere by preparing the space for relaxation.
'Cause after all
Reiterating the commitment to providing support and comfort.
That's what friends are for
Affirming that supporting each other is the true purpose of friendship.
'Cause after all
Repeating the central theme of friends being there for each other.
That's what friends are for
Emphasizing the enduring nature of true friendship.
'Cause after all
Repeating the idea that friends provide support and comfort consistently.
That's what friends are for
Stressing the reliability and constancy of true friendship.
'Cause after all
Reiterating the core concept that supporting each other defines true friendship.
That's what friends are for
Underscoring the unwavering nature of genuine friendship.
'Cause after all
Restating the enduring commitment of friends to be there for each other.
That's what friends are for
Emphasizing the constancy of support and care in true friendship.
'Cause after all
Reiterating the idea that friends are there to provide support and comfort.
That's what friends are for
