I don't have to look any further Like I always used to do No searching for some other unknown mystic lover Now I've found the perfect friend in you There are those I've known for a lifetime Others, they're brand new They come through lucky chance, Some from brief romances They'd all love to have a friend like you But you took me by suprise I wasn't ready for you Something flashed before my eyes Suddenly I adored you, adored you I was never terminal lonely From my sheltered point of view My life was kind of simple, I hadn't built a temple Dedicated to a friend like you On the way from cradle to tombstone There may be a lucky few Who sail through life untroubled, Floating on the bubbles In the wake of special friends like you When you took me by surprise I couldn't help but allow One day vague, the next day wise To love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow You took me by surprise I wasn't thinking of you Suddenly realized How much I really loved you, I love you Now I don't need to look any further Like I always used to do No searching for some unknown mystic lover Now I've found the perfect friend in you Now I've found the perfect friend in you Oh my perfect friend how I love you
