Lyrics

A friend is a gift
Unwrap her slowly
She may be fragile
Handle with care
She holds a secret
Whenever she holds you
So when she holds you
Handle with care

People come wrapped
In all shapes and sizes
Holding within them
The used and the rare
So much is precious
So much is hidden
People open up slowly
So handle them with care

Can I place my trust in you
To deliver what's inside
Will you see me honestly
And promise me
In you my feeling I'll confide

For a friend is a gift
Unwrap him slowly
He may be fragile
Handle with care
He holds a secret
Whenever he holds you
So when he holds you
Handle with care
