Here's an obscure one. "Friend," from Snoopy. I think it appears only on the San Francisco cast recording and not on the London one, and it can be tough to find (except on Amazon).
Also, "Bosom Buddies" from Mame.

Well, perhaps an obvious choice, but it is a great friendship song nonetheless-"For Good" from Wicked.
Also "You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel comes to mind--not exactly about friendship but essentially saying go on through rough times and there'll always be people there to support you.
"No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods along those lines.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

Posted: 9/7/05 at 9:09amMichael W. Smith has a great song called "Pray for Me"...for me, that is the perfect friendship song for those who are not in the same part of the world together.

Posted: 9/7/05 at 9:16amthe song at the end of THE LIFE and OLD FRIENDS by paul simon. JUST YOU AND I by melissa manchester is a great song. YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND is such an old chestnut -- try a unique version like sweet honey in the rock or another acapella group. that would be great. WHENEVER I CALL YOU FRIEND by kenny loggins and m. manchester sung by kenny and stevie nicks. FRIENDS sung rapturously by bette midler (well, ya gotta have friends...the feelings oh-so-strong..)
