LYRICS:
You are my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend, my friend
You hold my hand
You might not say a word
But I see your tears when I show my pain
You're--- my, my friend
I never knew it 'til then
My friend
I feel your love
When you're not near
It helps me make it knowing you care
The thought of you helps me carry on
When I feel all hope is gone
I see the world wit brand new eyes
Your love has made me realize
My future looks bright to me,
Oh because you are my friend
Da, da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Da, da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
Da, da, da (ad lib)
I've been around and around and around and around
Da, da, da
I've been looking around and you were here all the time
I've been looking around and you were here all the time - เพลง

Billy Porter is so extremely talented, such an phenomenal voice
Il est extra-ordinaire
Yes. BUT: look him up 20 years ago. You will be blown away.
Probably too high a pitch and he was playing it safe. He sounded great though!
Billy sang the HELL out of this song!!!!! Man I’m in tears!!! I am so embarrassed for not even knowing that he can sing his face off!! It’s like almost impossible for me to cry, and look at me here, a big ole baby. I love you man and I’m going now to downstream all of your music. When you can choose such a huge song and nail it to the pavement like that, I’m now looking forward to meeting you in person!!!!
I said the same thing!!!! I thought he was a struggling designer . My goodness he can sing!!!!! Can we say.....add to PLAYLIST!!!
@@lb1798 🤣🤣🤣 definitely add to playlist!!!
Don't feel bad, I didn't know he could sing like this either😊🎵
The first time I heard him sing was on Pose
Yes indeed! Whew!
Backup singers killing it!
❣❣❣❣❤❤❤
Yes, indeed...
@@vw1649 Yes Indeed!
And the bassist.
Definitely!❤
Sing it, Billy! I am sure you made Ms. Patti proud.
@Renée J Who is Ms. Pappi?
@@ameliabedelia7018 Patti Labelle 🥰
I'm sure Patty was singing a duet with him when she heard this. It was beautiful.
@Kia Nadiyah Sylvester Stallone does not sing, but his brother did. Frank Stallone sang “Far From Over” from Staying Alive.
@Kia Nadiyah Patti wrote the song and truly OWNS it when she performs (seen her live several times in her prime)
The background singers are amazing along with Mr Billie Porter Amen.
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL 💯 💯 SANG BACKGROUND!!!
Omg!, I got Tingles!
Background singers trying to CHIRP...!!!😉😉😉👍👍😘
Billy is phenomenal.. I love his fabulous, fashionista, fierce ass. He is one bad ass brother, singing acting & style. I love him i am a big fan.. Billy keep doing what you do love😘
@Aisha Long Fashionista is right. I've been sitting here for 2hrs trying to find asymmetrical blouse to buy and here comes Billy Porter lifting my spirit and making me envious all at the same time.
He sharp aint he excuse the english🤣🤣
💜💜💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Billy Porter’s talent is off the charts!
God bless him.
💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Setting on my coach drinking coffee at 5am. I woke up with a heavy heart and was looking for an uplifting song and God lead me to this song. Now I'm crying my eyes out but I feel so much better just hearing Billy Porter sing this song really touched me! Didn't know he could sing, and with so much passion! Thank you Billy 😘👐🏾
I love his voice his music is uplifted it take me to a better place.
LOVE HIM💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was my introduction to his vocals he’s a beast

We do not deserve Billy Porter. And I am beyond grateful he gives as much as he does, and what he does. Thank you, King. #theeBillyPorter
Carry on in the spirit of Sylvester 🤍🤍🕊️🕊️
Preach
stupid remark !!! We all deserve the best and he is one of the best !!
All I can say is, 🥺🥺😢😭❤❤❤❤❤
Talk about phrasing and finessing a song down to the wire. Billy sang tha SHAT outta that song!!!
YES HE DID!!!!!LOVE BILLY PORTER 💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Channeling the great Sylvester! Love everything about it!
❤
I was just about to post a comment about Sylvester until I saw your comment. 😊
Yessssss
@Angela Cook...I was blessed to see SYLVESTER sing "You Are My Friend" Live in a tiny nightclub in NYC Decades ago...It was a "Girl's night out" after a long day working in Racist corporate America.... SYLVESTER took us all to church that night...I was in tears after he sang this song from his heart. May SYLVESTER , a pioneer of the LBGTQ COMMUNITY, before it was hip... RIP...
@@SC-uq2jf You are quite lucky!! I remember my mom playing this 45 record over and over and as a kid I knew what I was hearing was greatness. Period!
I would love to see him and Patti sing this on strange together. YOU BETTER SING !!!!!!!
Yea!
Omg
Yes.
I wish Sylvester could've been able to do a duet with Billy.
Yaaaaasss Ms Patti would be Pride #LivinMyBestLifw
Yes that would be great
Him a Sylvester would smash this too #ripsylvester💜🕊🙏🏽
Billy you are absolutely a gift to the people in the earth. God has truly blessed you tremendously with an anointed voice and presence! Psalms 27 and Psalms 91
Thank you for that sing. You ssoind it very nice.
Although I’m 10 years older, this man has empowered me as an arttivist. Thank you sir.
I feel a Patti And Billy Remix
Add Sylvester and we got a goodddd remix 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That would be heaven.
@@AH-sf6qr we’d all be in tearss!!
I absolutely love my hometown queen Patti, but I think her powerful forte and crescendos would be , strong and unceasing and take away from a thoughtful but soulful give and take collaboration. I've been introduced to Billy's talent, along with the other cast members of "POSE" and am grateful.
OH YEAH!!!!💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sing Billy PORTER!!! That magic you made between 1:53-2:05 🤯😩😭🥰
Your phrasing is impeccable. Another stunning performance. Sylvester and Patti are proud. Not many can do that song. You have your own spin. Bravo
Oh Billy, you are so old school, you have so much soul ❤ your beautiful voice wouldn't have been out of place in the 60's, awesome, or as we use to say 'groovy' LOL
Honey honey honey. One thing Billy did today was sing down period!!!!! Child I was under the covers and now I’m on top of em. Mind you I love the original and also mind you my second favorite person to sing this song is Fantasia. He is now my third he took me all the way to church on this one! I need him to sing this on pose for the final episode before he pass away child it’s going to take me out!!
BILLY BILLY BiLLY!!!!!!!! You took that song to church!!!! had me in tears thinking about my lost love ones LOVE EVERYTHING you do!! waiting to buy your book!! may GOD keep blessing you!!!!❤️❤️💋💋🌹🌹🌹
BILLY PORTER!!💜
Words cannot express how INCREDIBLE you are. Thank you Billie

Billy sang this song and made it his own. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! I loved it. He killed it, revived it, breathed life into it and the killed it again. Damn. He can really sing.🤗👍🏾❤🌷👏🏾🖤👨🏾🎤🌷✌🏾
Billie voice is off the chain I love you more after your testimony on the talk show but I had no idea you was the same person I use to listen to back in the day. You are a true legend and inspiration 🙌 👀💙👍🏽
This was great! He’s got mad courage to sing Patti’s song. Wow!! 👍
This is Sylvester & The Two Tons of Fun ‘s song. Patti took it from him
@@jimmymclean9373 nope it’s patti’s. She wrote it with her then husband, Armstead and musical director Budd Ellison

Thank you for all that you do, Billy. You are an amazing inspiration and talent.
I cannot listen to him sing without crying. His voice is so beautiful😭🥰
But God ... sang brother!
I love you Billy, yes miss Patti put her spin on this song yet my favorite version is that done by the one and only Sylvester but thank you for your beautiful version as well
Miss Patti didn’t put a spin on this... She is the original of this song. She wrote it and recorded it first.
Sylvester (RIP) was the one who put his own spin on this song after.
Thank you for the info
This Is A Miss Patti Labelle Original, Not A Spin Off.... I Love Sylvester Spin Off... I Love Billy Porter Spin Off... One Of The Greatest Songs Of All Time...

I just went from curios to fan to friend when I heard you sing “This Day” on Pose I just got diagnosed with cancer and you have jumped to the top of my “Ten People To Have Lunch With List!” I appreciate your style and your artistry in how you wield your God given voice, but it is your spirit that has made me a friend of yours now. Blessings abound in you! Keep letting humanity see the light of divinity through you! You touched my soul through your work. I just wish I could see you play one day. Love from Frederick Maryland where the hills are gentle and the land is generous. Rain
