“My One True Friend” – performed 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.
The song “My One True Friend” was performed by Bette Midler and was written by Carole king and Carole Bayer Sager. It will be the perfect choice when a close friend dies because this piece stresses the contributions of a friend in someone’s life.
When people create funeral poems for friends, it is a common thing to do to reflect on all the good times that you have shared with them for the entire duration of your friendship.
This song also appreciates the fact that true friends will always be with you through thick and thin, even when you are feeling down and you are at your lowest. It also talks about the contributions of a friend in shaping who you are today. And that life will never be the same now that your friend has passed away.
At the end of the day, even though your friends have departed in this world, you realize that they will always be there for you just like when they were still alive.
