At the fireplace

A song about friendship.

2012-01-27T01:58:00.000-08:00

If your friend doesn’t laugh

Turn on the sun for him

Turn on the stars to him – it’s simple

And correct the mistake by turning tears into smile – it is simple

Sunday, Saturday Friendship is not a work,

Friendship is not a work

You have friends

There are no days off for friends

If everybody will give a hand to his friend

You can see in the porthole that

Friendship is the equator

If everybody wave hand with a daisy in it

You will see that

Friendship is the planet of daisies
