Two Ships Passing In The Night (Warwick)

This is what the song is about y'all
Oh, yeah

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe, I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
Well, that's what friends are for
Good times and in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
Oh, yeah

And well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way, I thank you, oh, baby
And then, for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

To keep smiling (smiling), keep shining (shining)
Knowing you can always count on me (count on me) for sure (for sure)
That's what friends are for
In good times (good times) and in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore, yes I will
That's what friends are for, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for, oh
In good times or in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for, oh

Keep smiling (keep smiling), keep shining (shining)
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
'Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for, oh
In good times (good times) and in bad times
You know that I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for, yeah

So all of you, keep smiling, shining
Knowing you can count Dee, and Dee for sure
You see, that's what friends are for
Keep smiling (keep smiling), keep shining (shining)
You know you can count on me for sure
You see, that's what friends are
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
Thank you all so very, very much
God bless you, and good night!
