Fairweather Friends Don Williams

Fairweather friends, fairweather sailors
Will leave you stranded on life's shore
One good friend who truly loves you
Is worth the pain your heart endures

We never know which way the wind will blow
Nor when or where the next turmoil will be
But he's a solid rock when troubles grow
And he's holding out a saving hand for me

Fairweather friends, fairweather sailors
Will leave you stranded on life's shore
One good friend who truly loves you
Is worth the pain your heart endures

--- Instrumental ---

He'll be a refuge in the storm;
He'll be a beacon in the night;
In the chilly winds of doubt he'll keep you warm;
When you can't find your way he'll be your light

Fairweather friends, fairweather sailors
Will leave you stranded on life's shore
One good friend who truly loves you
Is worth the pain your heart endures...
