Friends are like garments, that everyone wears-- New ones are needed for dress-up affairs. But when we're at leisure, we're more apt to choose The clothes that we purchased with last season's shoes. Things we grow used to, are things we love best-- The ones we are certain have weathered the test. And isn't it true (since we're talking of friends) That new ones bring pleasure when everything blends, But when we want someone who thinks as we do, And who fits, as I mentioned, like last summer's shoe-- We turn to the friends who have stuck thru' the years Who echo our laughter and try all our tears; They know every weakness and fault we possess, But somehow forget them, in friendship's caress.
