It’s a pleasure to know you a pleasure to see you smile
A comfort to 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 was 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
Now 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
They say life’s a journey a highway from birth to death
Mapped in despair and traveled in hopelessness
Well they may believe it but just between you and me
The trick to the traveling is all in the company
It’s a pleasure to know you a pleasure to see you smile
A comfort to 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
