You've Got a Friend in Me
I'll Be There For You by the Rembrandts (the theme song to Friends)
The Golden Girls theme.. are we seeing a pattern here? LOL
That's What Friends Are For by Dionne Warwick and Friends (that's a really old one, but I love it).
You've Got a Friend by James Taylor


Can it be a Christian song? If so, Friends by Michael W Smith is a good one. Kinda makes me cry. LOL.

From Wicked....I think it's called Changed for the Good.

 

[elgerber]

James Taylors, You've got a Friend, was the first thing that popped into my head, but I like the other persons list better LOL.

Thank You For Being A Friend - the Golden Girls theme - kinda cheesy but if you listen to the words I think it wil fit your siuation perfectly!

"You're My Best Friend" by Queen.

I actually prefer Carole King's version of You've Got a Friend (she wrote it, after all -- although I love JT!) and Bette Midler's Friends is a great one. Also, Judy Garland has a great song called Friendship.

A Friend To Me~ Garth Brooks

Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we first met
Me and you
Well we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret

Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me

You can be so stubborn
There's times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right

And there's times I'd rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me

You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me it's okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology

Oh you've always been
And you will 'til God knows when
Yes you've always been a friend to me

 

[Disneyland Princess]

Oh I second the Wicked one!! I love that song!
It's called For Good

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

(Elphaba):
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

The first time I saw Wicked I started crying when they sang this song...it is AMAZING!!!

Friends are Friends Forever by Micheal W Smith

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show

We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

To live as friends

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

No a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

What a sweet gesture. I'm sure your friend will love it.
