It's a Pleasure to Know You

Back to Songs Main Page >>

It's a pleasure to know you
a pleasure to see you smile
a comfort too know
we'll share the road awhile
pleasure is fleeting
comforts are far between
it's a pleasure to know you
and the comfort you bring

I came to your city after I left my home
and I as a stranger dressed up in stranger's clothes
favors I needed but charity's out of style
and rare as the beauty in the face of a trusting child

They say life's a journey a highway from birth to death
mapped in despair and traveled in hopelessness
they may believe it but just between you and me
the trick to the traveling is all in the company

Lovers may leave you lovers may turn away
and children may scorn you-you know they will someday
the seasons are fickle and fate is not known as kind
but friendship's a diamond and trouble's the diamond mine
