Solved: Anyone know the song title of these lyrics from the 60 or 70's

"I just want to thank you for being my friend - Ok?"

i think the lyrics are thank you for letting me be myself-again
if that is the case then its
thank you by sly and the family stone
hope this is right
hope this is what you are looking for

could it be 'thank you for being a friend' by andrew gold?

you know the 'golden girls' sitcom used it:

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see, the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a cadillac
Whatever you need, anytime of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear, even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say,
Thank you for being a friend

maybe it's gentle giant - thank you

this song was released in 1978 on their "giant for a day" album.
here the lyrics for you :

Thank You
Lead vocals: Derek
THANK YOU, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard.
You spend half your life, just testing the ground.
THANK YOU, I thought you would come to along, I don't know when,
And all of those years, Just foolin' around.
THANK YOU, for taking me as I am. No better than you.
You give me your love, You take it from me.
THANK YOU, for staying around so long, I know it's been hard.
You spend half your life, just testing the ground.
THANK YOU, You like all my funny ways, the things that I do.
We both understand, To give and to be.

* THANK YOU,
For waiting such a long time, And strange that it just had to be.
It's true,
You look, you keep on trying,
Had to keep on trying,
Search for half a life time, suddenly it's there.
THANK YOU, for being here where I am, It's better by far
Not living alone, The future to share.
THANK YOU, for loving me like you do, for being my friend,
And taking my hand, and sharing my cares.

* REPEAT....

Thanks for the help. My song was by Sly and the Family Stone.

Thank you for letting us know the right song
