Song Lyrics

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, 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 (come running)
To see you again (running to see you again)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call me
And I'll be there
Yes I will (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Just keep you head together
And call my name, call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running baby (come running)
To see you again (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)

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
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 (come running)
Oh to see you again (running to see you again)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you gotta to do is call
And I'll be there (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yes I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend, now
I say, you've got a friend
