24

When you’re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand,
And nothin’, whoa, 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
I’ll come runnin’ to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You’ve got a friend.

If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds,
And that ol’ north wind
Should begin to blow,
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud;
… Soon I’ll be knockin’ upon your door.

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’ to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now ain’t it good to know
That you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They’ll hurt you and desert you,
And take your soul if you let them,
But don’t you let them.

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’ to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes I will now,
You’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know,
You’ve got a friend.
