Story behind the song
At the start of my health condition it was difficult walking. A doctor discovered why, and treatments were started, but I had to get myself "going". My dog, Scuttle, began begging for a daily walk, with success. His determination was catching; within a year there were outings that I never dreamed I'd do again. The song is a thank you to Scuttle.(R.I.P.) Dedicated to all such family members, who are often soul-mates.

GOOD FRIEND
1st VERSE:
How I wish I had a friend like you.
Someone I could tell my troubles to.
Someone who won't laugh and call me fool.
A good friend like you.
2nd VERSE:
Every afternoon we share a walk.
Just a couple times around the block.
You're so patient while I talk and talk.
A good friend like you.
CHORUS:
GOOD FRIEND, EVERYBODY NEEDS A
GOOD FRIEND, LIFE IS INCOMPLETE
WITHOUT A REAL GOOD FRIEND.
3rd VERSE:
Time is all I have to spend on you.
You appreciate it when I do.
Make me feel I'm extra special too.
A good friend like you.
CHORUS:
GOOD FRIEND, EVERYBODY NEEDS A
GOOD FRIEND, LIFE IS INCOMPLETE
WITHOUT A REAL GOOD FRIEND.
BRIDGE:
So hard to find. With you around I can just take my time.
You'll be my friend until the end. But I need the two-legged kind.
4th VERSE:
How I wish I had a friend like you
Something less would really never do
They have got a lot to live up to
A good friend like you.
CHORUS:
GOOD FRIEND, EVERYBODY NEEDS A
GOOD FRIEND, LIFE IS INCOMPLETE
WITHOUT A REAL GOOD FRIEND.. WITHOUT A REAL GOOD FRIEND
