Lyrics / Paroles
Michael
When you’re down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothin’, no, nothin’ is goin’ right
Just close your eyes and think of me
And soon I’ll be there
To brighten up
Yeah, 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, yeah I will
You’ve got a friend
When the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind
Yeah, he begins to blow
Here’s what you do baby
Keep your head together
Together, baby
And call my name out loud
And soon you’ll hear me
Knockin’, knockin’ at your door
Oh yes I will, yes I will
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
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes I will
Ain’t it good to know
That you’ve got a friend
People can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, yeah
And desert you
And take your soul if you let them
But don’t let them
No, no, no, don’t let them
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, I’ll be there, yes I will
You’ve got a friend, yes
you do
You’ve got a friend, yes you do
Right till the end for you
Ain’t it good to know
You’ve got a friend
Yes you do
