Song Lyrics

When you're 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 nights

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
Well all you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've 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
And soon I will be knockin' upon your door

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

Hey ain't it good to know
That you've got a friend
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you, they'll desert you
They'll 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,
Yeah, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there,
And I'll be there,
And I'll be there, yes I will

'Cause you've got a friend
You've got a friend
