When you're down and troubled And you need a helping hand And nothing, no nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me And soon I will be there To brighten up even the darkest night. (Chorus) You just call out my name, And you know where ever I am I'll come running, just to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, All you've got to do is call And I'll be there - you've got a friend. You've got a friend. If the sky above you Should turn dark and full of clouds And that old north wind begins to blow Keep your head together and call my name out loud Soon I will be knocking at your door. (Chorus) Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you. They'll take your soul if you let them. But don't you let them. (Chorus)
