Fair weather friends, fair weather 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

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

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

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