My One True Friend by Bette Midler
My One True Friend by Bette Midler 
And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so different in your quiet way?
I can see the joy in simple things,
A sunlit sky and all the songs we used to sing.
I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end,
You are my one true friend.
For all, all the times you closed your eyes,
Allowing me to stumble or to be surprised,
By life, with all it’s twists and turns.
I made mistakes, you always knew that I would learn.
And when I left, it’s you who stayed.
You always knew that I’d come home again.
In the end,
You are my one true friend.
Though love may break, it never dies.
It changes shape, through changing eyes.
What I denied, I now can see.
You always were the light inside of me.
I know, I know, I know, I know it was you.
I have walked and I have I prayed.
I could forgive and we could start again.
In the end, you are my one true friend.
My one true friend.
I always, always knew,
I always knew that it was you,
My one true friend.
A friend is one of the most treasured relationships a person can have. It is also one of the best gifts that you can offer to a stranger. Having a friend is one of the reasons why life is wonderful. You always have a reason to laugh smile and get silly because of your pals and friends.
With that in mind, we know and is very familiar with the saying that ‘friendship last forever’. And a friend’s love, memory and spirit surpass time and space. It is boundless and everlasting. It is so that even if that friend passes away, you still hold that friend dear and near your heart.
So you can just imagine the pain that you feel when the moment comes that a dear friend passes away. And when that happens, you feel devastated and that a part of you also dies. However, we all have to move forward and accept things. One step for us to be able to do that is to pay respects to our friend.
Whether your departed friend will have a direct burial or direct cremation services, it matters most for all the surrounding people including yourself to be there and honour this person’s wondrous life. And as mentioned, honouring that friend can be done by offering funeral services for that friend. In that funeral service, one of the most ideal funeral songs that you can sing for your friend is this song: “My One True Friend” by Bette Midler.
This song is ideal since the song talks about how much can friends change a person’s life. It also talks about a friend’s love and struggles that is being shown in their relationship with one another. Also, this song talks about a friendship that is so strong that is outshines all the negativity in life; a perfect song that each and every friend can relate to.
The subtle melody of the song also sets the perfect mood in the funeral service. Play this on the background or sing this song with family and friends to commemorate your dear friend that passed away. The lyrics and essence of the song will be perfect for the occasion.
