One of the most requested songs from singer / songwriter Kath Reade (see http://www.kathreade.co.uk/ / http://www.myspace.com/kathreade ) is "Friendship". There's an mp3 of Kath singing it at http://www.gradelydesigns.co.uk/friendship.mp3.

FRIENDSHIP
(Kath Reade)

CHORUS:-
Friendship matters the most
Friendship matters the most
It's your holy spirit
It's your holy ghost
Friendship matters the most

When you come to mark up your life
And you re-evaluate all the strife
You forget all the nonsense
Of who's first past the post
Friendship matters the most

I try to be a better friend
Like a gardener to a flower I tend
With the water of kindness
With the food of a loving host
Friendship matters the most

A few I had to leave
For their presence in my life caused me to grieve
Some I did not know I had
Until they had been lost
Friendship matters the most.
