It's not Irish but Dan Seals' "ONE FRIEND" is a great song for the occassion, (Ask my wife of 30 years)

It's on his new album "In a quiet room" All acoustic versions of his past hits - great stuff!

Words Follow:

I always thought you were the best, I guess I always will
I always thought that we were blessed, I feel that way still
Sometimes we took the hard road, but we always saw it through
If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you.

Sometimes the world was on our side, sometimes it wasn't fair
Sometimes it gave a helping hand, sometimes we didn't care
'cause when we were together you made the dreams come true
If I had only one friend left, I'd want it to be you.

Someone to understand me, who knows me inside out
Who helps keep me together and believes without a doubt
That I can move a mountain, someone to tell it too.
If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you.


Hope it's of some use
