ou've Got A Friend

 

When you're down and troubled

 
 
And you need a helping¹ hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
to brighten² up even your darkest nights
You just call out my name
And you know wherever³ I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you have 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 cold north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon⁴ your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Oh babe, don't you know that
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey now, all you've got to do is call
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
You've got a friend
