And I never thought I'd feel this way   And as far as I'm concerned   I'm glad I got a chance to say   That I do believe I love you      And if I should ever go away   Well then close your eyes and try   To feel the way we do today   And then if you can remember      Keep smiling, keep shining   Knowing you can always count on me   For sure, thats what friends are for      For good times and bad times   I'll be on your side forever more   That's what friends are for      And so by the way I thank you and then   For the times when we're apart   Well then close your eyes and know   These words are comin' from my heart   And then if you can remember      Keep smiling, keep shining   Knowing you can always count on me   For sure, that's what friends are for      In good times and bad times   I'll be on your side forever more   That's what friends are for   That's what friends are for      Keep smiling, keep shining   Knowing you can always count on me   For sure, thats what friends are for      For good times and bad times   I'll be on your side forever more   That's what friends are for   That's what friends are for   That's what friends are for
