When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothin, nothin is goin right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night.
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
Ill come runnin to see you again
Winter, spring , summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah yeah yeah
Youve got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind
Should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon Ill be knockin upon your door.
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
Ill come runnin to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All youve have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah yeah yeah
Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend
When people can be so cold
Theyll hurt you, desert you
Theyll take your soul if you let them
But dont you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
Ill come runnin to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have got to do is call
And Ill be there, yes I will
Youve got a friend.
