Friendship is like 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 thats deep and true
And it's rich with happy memories
And fond 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 tie
Binding kindred hearts together
As the years go passing by
