Friendship is a golden chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year...
It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
And found recollections, too...
Time can't destroy its beauty
For as long as memory lives,
Years can't erase the pleasure
That the joy of friendship gives...
For friendship is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold,
But to have an understanding friend
Is worth far more than gold...
And the golden chain of friendship
Is a strong and blessed
Binding kinder hearts together
As the years go passing by.
