I LIVE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ME,
WHOSE HEARTS ARE KIND AND TRUE...
FOR THE BRIGHT HOPES LEFT BEHIND ME,
AND THE GOOD THAT I CAN DO.
A FRIEND IS A SOLACE IN GRIEF
AND IN JOY A MERRY COMPANION
If nobody cared just a little about you
and nobody cared about me,
and we stood alone, in the battle of life,
What a dreary old world this would be
Life is sweet, just because of
friends we have made
and the things which in common we share.
We want to live on, not because of ourselves,
but because of the people who care.
It is doing and giving for somebody else
on which all of life's splendor depends.
The joy of this world, when you've
summed it all up,
is found in the making of friends.
