If I Were My Best Friend
Spoken:
My best friend thinks the world of me
and sees only the best in me.
Waits, excited, till I call.
Cares so deeply, lest I fall.
My best friend often brings me gifts.
And when I need it - gives a lift.
Helps me shop for party clothes.
Massages my neck, feet and toes!
But how can I begin to care
for myself in ways so fair?
'Tis others' needs to which I tend.
I crash in bed at each day's end.
Sung:
If I were my best friend
to me a card I'd send.
Surprises they would never end...
if I were my best friend.
I smile to think just how it would be
if I were to fall in love with me!
If daily I'd notice and tend to my needs...
Oh the love to me I'd send if I were my best friend!
I would say "I love you" every day.
And I'd ask, "How do you do?"
I'd listen for the answer
if I were my best friend!
I would look into my eyes and see
a longing that is great and deep.
I'd sense a need that's budding
if I were my best friend.
I smile to think just how it would be
if I were to fall in love with me!
If daily I'd notice and tend to my needs...
Oh the love to me I'd send if I were my best friend!
I'd buy me flowers for no special reason.
And eat large blackberries that weren't in season.
Stop to smell the roses five minutes at a time.
Smile at my reflection. Say, "You look quite fine!"
I smile to think just how it would be
if I were to fall in love with me!
If daily I'd notice and tend to my needs...
Oh the love to me I'd send if I were my best friend!
