YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
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
To see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

When the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind
Begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name outloud
And soon you'll hear me knocking
At 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 have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain' it good to know
That you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you
Yes 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 kow 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
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
You've got a friend.
