Friend (Goin' Home)
Harry Connick, Jr.

(Verse)

I might not say what I have in the back of my mind

But you always seem to know

You can see right through me

You always get right to me

Even if I might not let it show


(Verse)

I can’t recall all the times that I held out my hand

And you held out your hand too

Never did you doubt me,

You knew all about me

And you’ve found a way to pull me through


(Chorus)

When the road I’m running doesn’t end

Then love is waiting round the bend

I pick up my pace and then I pretend

I’m going home to see my friend


Alright, yea


(Verse)

Took me a long time to learn, I’m glad you waited around

Sometimes I take a while to see

I’m better because of you, I hope you know I love you

‘Cause I know how much that you love me



(Chorus)

When the road I’m running doesn’t end

Then love is waiting round the bend (for me)

I pick up my pace and then I pretend

I’m going home to see my friend


(Bridge)

Like the blood I bleed

That’s a friend indeed

It’s a church on the horizon

All the soldier who knows the world is screwed

It’s the shoulder that he cries on


(Chorus)

When the road I’m running doesn’t

(It’s a neverending road)

Then love is waiting round the bend

(And there’s loving waiting there for me)

I pick up my pace and then I pretend

(I’m makin’ believe that I’m goin’ home)

I’m going home to see my friend


I’m going home to see my friend

(Going home to see)

I’m going home to see my friend
