A Friend For Life - Rod Stewart

Through a smoke-filled glass, on a desperate night

When the sole of my shoe lets in rain

When the heart’s tired of running and the milk’s gone sour

Will your feelings still be the same

When the match won’t light, so the flames don’t tremble

And the years are condemning us too

I’ll need a soulmate, to hold me, and a friend for life

And I’m hoping it might be you

When I think of life, as a chance not taken

Or as a compromise tinged with regret

When the kids leave for breeding and the TV’s king

Will you tell me we’re not done yet

Will you think of me, as a distant island

Or will you come with me to the moon

I’ll need a soulmate, to hold me, and a friend for life

And I’m hoping it might be you

Give me asylum, and I’ll keep the faith

Keep me in coffee and so safe

And I’ll feed your cats, and I’ll paint walls

And I’ll be your one night stand

Will you come with me, in the certain knowledge

That the catch is, there’s no catch at all

I’ll need a soulmate, to hold me, and a friend for life

And I’m hoping it might be you

Yes, I’m certain it must be you
