about

Written in dedication to the compassionate friendship of the three women mentioned in the song.

lyrics

Friends Karen Hunter

Frankie sits on her bed at night watching the TV
If she’s there when I call her up she’s always got time for me
I can talk to her about anything
and know that I’ll be heard
when she speaks truth tumble out through the power of her words

Chorus
She is my friend
she will stick by me
she knows the meaning of loyalty

Miss Russ sits on her tuft painting the light out of the sky
when I look into her eyes I see the sun still shines
she listens so carefully
and smiles so knowingly
I can trust her with my heart and know she’ll treat me gently

She is my friend
she will stick by me
She knows the meaning of sincerity

Christine she’s a blessing
Sings with her heart and mind
She writes songs to die for and dance to till the end of time
I found her by the mountain
she was looking up with awe
tears were in her eyes and when I asked what they were for

she said
Who are my friends
who will stick by me
who knows the meaning of integrity

I say
You are my friends
you have stuck by me
shown me the meaning of love
