  • Today is 20 year anniversary of my friend Kirk's death after he lost the battle to Leukemia. This was "our" song. I miss you more then words can express,not a day goes by i don't think of you. Love you Kirk. <3

  • I love this song. I'm a Messianic Jewish Believer in the Son of GOD - YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH! And I really love Michael's songs, he is very talented! HalleluYAH!

  • I like to sing this song when I have good friends gathered around.

  • This is Jesus' song for all of us. :)

  • This song may be classified as christian contemporary, however really it is talking about dedication and loyalty as a human being and a friend. I am not religious, but definitely relate to the message of this song..... having commitment to others in life is a universal message.

  • when was this video made it looks like sometime in the late 80s to early 90s but not sure can somebody tell me

  • Great song, Oh I miss these innocent times. To all my friends and family,this song is ffor you.

  • I love this song very much. . .

  • I sang this for my Pastors wife many many years ago, with the help of my sister, who is a Pastor of a church and a missionary. The lyrics of this song says it all!

    If you serve our country in any way, form or fashion, I call you friend! God bless

  • I used to not be able to listen to this song for a long time because in 1996 my grandmother passed away and it kinda got to me.Leatrice Dailey you will always be in my heart forever.

  • Very beutiful song, full of inspiration.

  • This song was sung by Michael Smith at a memorial for the students who died in Columbine in 1999. I recently discovered this in a book i read, called "She said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall." This was also the song sung at my graduation. After hearing this song, it shows how the lyrics can really impact many different people with many different stories. It truely is beautiful, and you can hear the messege of it through the melody. Well done.

  • awesome song

    

  • This song makes me cry everytime I listen to it because it was played at my Nana Donna's funeral. I plan to have it played at my wedding in honor of her.

  • I went to a Christian school and this song was played every year during graduation ceremonies.....brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

  • This song is Lennon-esque. That's a compliment to Smitty and his song-writing skills.

  • this song is beautiful.  loving it..... **sniff**

  • I have a question if someone out there might know the answer. some sources on the internet say this song was written by michael and deborah smith, others say it was written by brent bourgeois and bongo bob smith. anyone know who it was and how you know for sure?

  • @mistercalexpo Micheal and Debrorah wrote this song

  • This song, along with many other greats, remind me of my brother Joshua. He loved MWS. RIP 2-1-09 JJC.

  • @13MoBreezy - I am so sorry for the loss of your brother, Joshua. My sincere condolences to you and your entire family. May the pleasant and beautiful memories that you have of your bro stay close to your heart. Perhaps knowing that he is in heaven and is watching over you and your loved ones is of a comfort. In order to perhaps find a local support group for grief and loss, Grief Share may have more information. R.I.P., Joshua

  • Friends are cool.

  • I performed in the play Friends forever when i was in the 8th grade and this song stuck in me. And as I graduated from high school this song was in my head. I will always cherish this song.

  • @quaid8 I did the same one 2! It was great. We did it with 2 or three other youth choirs who were also working on it at the same time. So we got to perform it at each others churches. It was a lot of fun.

  • 29 people dont understand the importance of God and friends. Without love, what is the point of living? without Love and God, you are never truely alive, you just exsist

  • This song reminds me of a dear friend of mine who was killed in 1990 in a car accident at age 20. She adored GOD her Heavenly Father and loved listening to Michael W Smith. R.I.P. Kathie.. looking forward to that great day when I can hug you again.

  • I love all of you, my brothers and sisters! You are always in my heart, and you are remembered in my prayers, til we ALL meet in Heaven, health, wealth, and prosperity to all of you, in 2011 and forever after, I must go and pray now, everyone who reads this know that a lifetime's not too long to all be friends with one another!

  • This song holds many special memories for me. We had this in our wedding many many years ago. I can remember everything about it and how special this song made the moment.  But how it brings back those emotions and feeling still today when we hear it.

  • Michael: You're still playing baseball in my hear. Cheeeers!!! and thank for that long and awesome road...

  • This was the first Christian song I listened to when I first got saved! Thank you for including the words! A friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end!! I love this song...sad song...but memories of when my life here on earth finally had meaning.

  • Jesus, sticks closer than a friend....

  • I used to talk to women through "Romantic Songs" not anymore!

    FRIENDS *** YOU ARE THE MESSENGER *

  • An accoustic version of the amazing song "Friends," as well as lyrics. (Be sure to read the inspirational words that start at 4:05.) We all have our own crosses to bear. But with the strength of the Lord and the support of our friends, we can overcome. My friends are truly blessings in this world...

  • friends are the best money in the world

  • This is the BEST contemporary Christian praise song by far.

    No fancy instruments to mask bad singing and lyrics.

    It is just the piano and God's given voice.

    Praise God.

  • His version of "He lifts me up", long before Josh Grogan, is the best there is.

  • @dtbrproductions Hi, G-d bless you. I used G-d just for respect.

    Is the same GOD, Jesus Christ. The jewish people write this way.

    See you...

  • @IEBISTA Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by Him we cry, "Abba, Father."

    Galatians 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father

  • @jowaness Yeah, I know. What do you want say me, please?

    GOD bless you!!

  • @IEBISTA you can call God your Father...don't be talked into calling Him G_D...he has a name..Jehovah....

  • @jowaness dude, shut up. ur gonna start a flame war. people can call god whatever they want. its called DIFFERENT RELIGIONS. IEBISTA calls him God, you call him Jehovah. just chill.

  • When I was in 7th grade, we did a musical with the youth group at church called Friends Forever and this was the theme song for that musical! We had so much fun doing this and it is a shame that not many youth groups do those things anymore!

  • This was played at my Boyfriends funeral when I was a senior in high school, back in '88. I will never forget you Tim!!!!!

  • I met him today!

  • Gratuluje Pieknego wykonania Gratuluje i Zycze Duzo Sukcesow .

    Pozdrawiam - Roman

  • AMAZING

  • Fabulous Song!! that was our Senior Song when I graduated High School way back in 1988. It just puts a great deal of memories back into my head and heart. Thanks for uploading this. And Hello to all the Independence Patriots Class of '88 (Charlotte, NC)

  • SUBLIME!!!!!!! 

  • wonderful songgggg

  • @MessianskJude87 G-D bless tou sooooo much!! SHALOM to you!!! My name is Ibraim, and i'm sure that Jesus came to the earth for everbody that believe. I love you! G-D bless you.

  • @IEBISTA why are you putting G-d instead of God?

  • California Friends Forever

  • @MessianskJude87 @MessianskJude87 Is your religion died for your sins? Nope! It is Jesus who died for all our sins . Without Jesus we are nothing . without Jesus all will go to hell for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ( Rom 3:23) Religion is a man's way to reach God but God;s way to reach man is through his son Jesus our Lord and Savior. When people embrace Religion there is pride and division but when people embrace Jesus there is humility and unity. Jesus is the only way

  • this is my favorite song too, I heard it the first time from Michael and I loved it ( saw him in concert and met him that day). Michael is a great person inside and out, he really is open to so many people and his music is so uplifting and it really hits home.
