Hello Little Friend

(Album: Joe Cocker! - 1969)

Hello, little friend
Oh, it's good to see you back again
I'm very happy that you're bigger than me
In such important ways you overlook
The hung up and thoughtless things I say

My dear funny friend
You may be the only one that's ever been
Even when I use you see through me with real eyes
You keep marking time
Just waiting for a friendly chance to sight the blind

Yeah, wait a minute
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of mine)
Oh, darling, I say, you are a friend of mine

But if by some chance that might've slipped my mind
Little darling, I hope that you will set me straight
Don't hesitate to sharpen my reality
The hour's late

My dear little friend
I'm sure you're the only one that's ever been
And if I fall again I hope that I'll find
You standing close by
Or just waiting for a friendly chance to right my mind

Yeah please wait a minute darling
Oh, you are a friend of mine
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of mine)
I said, wait for me

Oh, I love you
Don't you know, you are a friend of mine
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of mine)
If you let it in

I said, oh my sweet oh Lord
Hey, you are a friend of mine
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of mine)

I can tell it by the way
I said, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
You are a friend of mine
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of)
(Darling you're a friend of mine)
