I'd like to capture a rainbow
and stick it in a big box
so that, anytime you wanted to,
you could reach in
and pull out a piece of sunshine.

I'd like to build you a mountain
that you could call your very own
a place to find serenity in those times
when you feel the need to be closer to yourself...

I'd like to be the one who's there
when you're lonely or troubled
or you just need someone to hold on to.

I'd like to do all this and more
to make your life happy.
But, sometimes, it isn't easy
to do the things I would like to do
or give the things I would like to give.

So...
until I learn how to catch rainbows
and build mountains,
let me do for you which I know best...

..Let me simply be your friend.
