Song Lyrics

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh nothing is going 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 running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend, girl

When the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud
Soon I'll be knocking upon 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 have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will be

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, girl, and desert you
They'll take your soul if you let them
Oh, 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

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will be
You've got a friend
You've got a friend, girl

Ain't it good to know (you've got a friend)
Oh, yeah, ain't it good to know (you've got a friend)
You've got a friend forever (you've got a friend)
Ain't it good to know, darling (you've got a friend)
Oh, you've got a friend, babe (you've got a friend)
You've got a friend forever (you've got a friend)
You've got a friend forever
