These friends of mine
Live their lives
Spend their time
Hoping to find
Who they are
How they're made
Thought maybe they'd
Hoping to find the way
These friends of mine
They have lives
They work hard
To live them right
And when they laugh
It makes me high
They'd take a train
10,000 miles before they'd fly
These friends of mine
They feel alone
When the shows are over
Don't know where to go
In Philadelphia
At Christmas time
They question love
Wonder why they try
And when the show is over
How I hope that they discover
The joy that they bring
And I hope they remember
This bond we have together
And how they love to sing
These friends of mine
Live in New York
They were raised in Michigan
They don't know things
They don't hold hands
Guard their hearts
The best they can
And when the show is over
How I hope that they discover
The joy that they bring
And I hope that they remember
This bond we have together
And how they love to sing
They sure love to sing
Maybe I needed this time
To be reminded for myself
Maybe I needed this time
To be reminded for myself
How I love to sing
