I'd like to capture a rainbow 
and stick it in a big box so that, 
anytime you wanted to, 
you could reach in and pull out 
a piece of sunshine. 
I'd like to build you a mountain 
that you could call your very own 
a place to find serenity 
in those times when you 
feel the need to be 
closer to yourself... 
I'd like to be the one 
who's there when you're 
lonely or troubled 
or you just need 
someone to hold on to. 
I'd like to do all this and more 
to make your life happy. 
But, sometimes, 
it isn't easy to do 
the things I would like to do 
or give the things I would like to give. 
So... until I learn how to 
catch rainbows and build mountains, 
let me do for you which I know best... 
..Let me simply be your friend.
