The Golden Chain
| Friendship is a golden chain, |
| The links are friends so dear, |
| And like a rare and precious jewel |
| It's treasured more each year... |
| It's clasped together firmly |
| With a love that's deep and true, |
| And it's rich with happy memories |
| And fond recollections, too.... |
| Time can't destroy its beauty |
| For, as long as memory lives, |
| Years can't erase the pleasure |
| That the joy of friendship gives.... |
| For friendship is a priceless gift |
| That can't be bought or sold, |
| But to have an understanding friend |
| Is worth far more than gold.... |
| And the golden chain of friendship |
| Is a strong and blessed tie |
| Binding kindred hearts together |
| As the years go passing by. |
