When I am down and need to cry till morning,

I know just where I am going.

When I'm in need of sweet commiseration

To speak out loud.

Raise a glass to friendship

And to knowing you don't have to go alone.

We'll raise out hearts to share each other's burdens

On this road.



Every burden I have carried,

Every joy--it's understood.

Life with you is half as hard,

And twice as good.



With my good news you're dancing on the table:

Baby's born, to celebration.

The joy of life, oh what a sweet communion,

Shared with you.



Every burden I have carried,

Every joy--it's understood.

Life with you is half as hard,

And twice as good.



Every burden I have carried,

Every joy--it's understood.

Life with you is half as hard,

And twice as good.



I know we're growing older,

Can you imagine what that will bring?

It's all a mystery to me now,

Except this one thing:

It'll be half as hard, and twice as good.
