Answer
Dear Marybeth,

You are looking for the song GOOD FRIEND by MARY MacGREGOR. She is an American singer born in St. Paul, Minnesota best known for singing the 1976 hit song TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS. GOOD FRIEND was used as the theme song for the 1979 comedy movie MEATBALLS starring BILL MURRAY (his first movie). GOOD FRIEND went to #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on October 13, 1979. Here's its lyrics:

GOOD FRIEND / MARY MacGREGOR

If You let me I Could be your good friend
I know that If you let me
We could walk together
we're not so different you know
Though we may have different dreams
when they fall apart we hurt the same it seems

I'm so sure so don't you bet me
I just know that if you let me
I'll show you that I could be your good friend

Someone to share your good times
Someone who you can count on
That someone who when you turn to won't turn away

If you let me I could be your good friend
I know that if you let me we could walk together

I'm so sure so don't you bet me
I just know that if you let me
I'll show you that I could be your good friend

Maraming salamat po!!
