Friendship is 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 that's 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.
