Don Williams ~ Fair Weather Friends ~

Fair weather friends, fair weather sailors,
Will leave you stranded on life's shore.
One good friend who truly loves you
Is worth the pain your heart endures.

We never know which way the wind will blow,
Nor when or where the next turmoil will be.
But he's a solid rock when troubles grow,
And he's holding out a saving hand for me.

Fair weather friends, fair weather sailors,
Will leave you stranded on life's shore.
One good friend who truly loves you
Is worth the pain your heart endures.

[Instrumental]

He'll be a refuge in the storm;
He'll be a beacon in the night;
In the chilly winds of doubt he'll keep you warm;
When you can't find your way he'll be your light.

Fair weather friends, fair weather sailors,
Will leave you stranded on life's shore.
One good friend who truly loves you
Is worth the pain your heart endures...

When I lost my parents in 1978/79, I was encouraged by this song to look for who this one good friend could be.; and I found Him in1981. He is Jesus.

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other, gold.

Good music builds and strengthens the soul so is this particular piece. Don Williams still lives on though physically no more. May your soul be kept at rhe safest part in Heaven.

I remember the days of my youth. So young and strong. But hey time flies.
