About the song
There’s something truly special about a song that speaks straight to the heart—and “You’re My Best Friend” is one of those timeless treasures. In this beautiful live performance at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast, Daniel O’Donnell and Mary Duff remind us of the kind of love and friendship that lasts a lifetime.
Their voices blend so naturally, like two old friends finishing each other’s sentences. You can hear the tenderness and genuine affection in every word they sing. It’s not flashy or overdone—just pure, honest emotion, the way music used to be.
For those of us who have walked through many seasons of life, this song brings back memories of devotion, companionship, and the quiet strength of someone always by your side. Whether it’s a spouse, a dear friend, or a loved one who’s no longer here, the lyrics have a way of touching the soul.
The live setting adds even more warmth to the moment—you can almost feel the audience’s hearts swaying along, sharing that deep sense of connection. Daniel and Mary perform not just with talent, but with heart, and that makes all the difference.
In a world that moves a little too fast these days, songs like this are a gentle reminder of what truly matters: love, loyalty, and someone to call your best friend.

Lyrics
You place gold on my fingerYou brought love like I’ve never knownYou gave life to our childrenAnd to me, a reason to go onYou’re my bread when I’m hungryYou’re my shelter from the troubled windYou’re my anchor in life’s oceanBut most of all, you’re my best friendWhen I need hope and inspirationYou’re always strong when I’m tired and weakI could search this whole world overYou’d still be everything that I needYou’re my bread when I’m hungryYou’re my shelter from the troubled windYou’re my anchor in life’s oceanBut most of all, you’re my best friendYou’re my bread when I’m hungryYou’re my shelter from the troubled windYou’re my anchor in life’s oceanBut most of all, you’re my best friend
