YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND 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 where ever I am, I'll come running, to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, Now all you've got 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 cloud. And that old Northward should begin to blow. Keep your head together, And call my name out low. Soon I'll be knocking upon your door. Hey, ain't it good to know That you've got a friend. People can be so cold. They hurt you and desert you, They'll take your soul If you let them, But don't you let them.
