One Friend

"One Friend" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Dan Seals. It was released in September 1987 as the first and only single from his compilation album The Best. It peaked at #1, becoming his seventh straight number-one single. This song was originally included on his 1984 album San Antone, and this version was the b-side to that album's single "(You Bring Out) The Wild Side of Me".


Music video

Seals re-recorded "One Friend" again for his 1995 acoustic album, In a Quiet Room, and a music video was filmed for that version the following year. It was directed by Tom Bevins, and it shows Seals singing and performing the song on his guitar while sitting by a bonfire. It was the last music video of Seals' career.

    One Friend

    by: Dan Seals

    I always thought you were the best
    I guess I always will
    I always thought that we were blessed
    And I feel that way still
    Sometimes we took the hard road
    But we always saw it through
    If I had only one friend left
    I'd want it to be you
    Sometimes the world was on our side
    Sometimes it wasn't fair
    Sometimes it gave a helping hand
    Sometimes we didn't care
    'Cause when we were together
    It made the dream come true
    If I had only one friend left
    I'd want it to be you
    Someone who understands me
    And knows me inside out
    Helps keep me together
    And believes without a doubt,
    That I could move a mountain
    Someone to tell it to
    If I had only one friend left
    I'd want it to be you
    Someone
    And knows me inside out
    Helps keep me together
    And believes without a doubt,
    That I could move a mountain
    Someone to tell it to
    If I had only one friend left
