When I was younger and even until now, I really like the song “Only You, My Friend”. The song was a hit in the late 80’s. I just don’t know who sung it, basta babae sya, haha! at OPM (Original Pilipino Music) ito.
I still know the melody, but not the entire lyrics. What I can remember are these lines, not sure though if it’s correct, haha!
Only you my friend can make my life feel so complete
It seems like a song, a symphony, a melody so sweet
Of all the people around, you’re the dearest one I found
You are the most important one of all.
Only you my friend can make my day feel bright and clear
Every moment in my life filled with happiness when you’re near
When I happen to fall, you are there each time I call
You are the most important one of all.
Nothing else is greater than the friendship that we have
You mean everything to me
I can never forget, that I’ll love you till the end
And I’ll remember you, my whole life through.
I know this is also one of Marlene’s favorite songs. I read it in one of her previous posts. 
I’ve been googling for this song, but haven’t found the complete lyrics.
If you have a complete lyrics of this song, hope you guys can share it here. I have also been waiting for its revival. I really miss hearing this song. This is one of the songs I would want to hear and sing over and over again.

With a friend to call my own

And you, my friend, will see
You’ve got a friend in me

Weee! Amor, pagbasa ko pa lang sa title naalala ko agad ang song at nagulat ako’t ang song nga. Naalala mo pa pala ito, ako yung simula sa ‘nothing else…’ na lang naalala ko. Sayang nga at nawala ang songbook ko nung teen pa lang ako eh. Somebody whose family name is Laurel ang kumanta nito, Iwi Laurel, something…. Naku thanks at na-remember mo pa pala,print ko to at try ko i-play sa guitar kung makaya ko pa.

Hindi ko lang sure kung tama yung lyrics na yan, hahaha! parang may copy din ako nyan noong elementary ako pero hindi ko na alam kung saan napunta. Iwi laurel ba? Nisearch ko nga name nya pero ang nasa list lang na nakita ko na kanta nya ay “Special Memory”.

So 80’s!
I love the 80 and 90’s music. I spent most of my childhood in radio stations booths because my father was a broadcaster.
Hindi ba si Lea Salonga kumanta nyan?

Favorite male singer ko nman noong late 80’s ay si Dingdong Avansado. Teka, 80’s nga ba sya o early 90’s … na confuse na ako!

Hi! Thanks for visiting my site. Talaga family friend mo siya, that’s nice! Bakit pala di na sya kumakanta?
Reply
kingkon on November 8, 2009 at 9:25 pm
married na po sya ngayon, eventually hindi nag click ang pagiging singer nya noon. make that a one hit wonder. sayang pero she had her own 15 minutes of fame naman noon so ok na rin.
actually bestfriend sya ng ate ko, she’s 10 years older than me. davaoeno po kami and it happened lang na sa malayabalay city na assign ang ate ko noon. at naglaon doon narin sya nakapag asawa.
re: only you my friend, oo nga ganda ng song nato. classic.

sorry for jumping in..ü eto naman sa akin para sa first stanza, di ko nga lang din sigurado if tama ba:
Only you my friend can make my life feel so complete
It seems like a song, a symphony, a melody so sweet
Of all the people around, you’re the dearest one I found
You will always be special for me….
