Only You, My Friend by Maria Muriel

When I was younger I really like the song “Only You, My Friend”, love it up to now actually. The song was a hit in the late 80’s. I just don’t know who sang 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’s filled with happinesss as long as you’re near
When I happen to fall, you are there each time I call
You’re the most important one of all.

Nothing else is greater than the friendship that we have
You mean everything to me
I can never pretend, that Iโ€™ll love you till the end
But Iโ€™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. ๐Ÿ™‚

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. ๐Ÿ™‚

Update: As pointed out by our commenters, the singer who sang Only you my friend is Maria Muriel Cagulada – Remo.

    • I also like Ben. ๐Ÿ™‚ and this line

      With a friend to call my own
      I’ll never be alone
      And you, my friend, will see
      You’ve got a friend in me

  1. 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”.

    • Talaga?… sinong father mo at saang radio station sya ?

      Hindi si Lea Salonga ang kumanta nyan eh, pero wish ko i-revive nya. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. hindi ko alam yang kanta na yan haha

    puro kasi new wave inaatupag ko noong 80’s eh haha. Ang alam ko lang na OPM na sikat noon ay babaero, si aida si lorna at si fe at yung mga kanta ni raymond lauchenco at gino padilla LOL

    • 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! ๐Ÿ™‚
