While you're gone
Do you wonder how I spend my day
Thinkin' 'bout you
And maybe in a special way
I can show you how I miss you more and more
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for

Are you tired?
Do you think that you would like to nap?
By the fire
I will hold you gently in my lap
And I'll count the minutes till you sleep no more
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for

All I want to do
Is to make life a little better for you
So I try so hard to keep what's ours together
There never could be
Another for me

Are you hungry?
Do you think that you could use some wine
And the music
Did you have a certain thing in mind?
When the dinner, wine and music starts to bore
I will fluff the pillows on the floor and more
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for
'Cause after all
That's what friends are for
