And I never thought I'd feel this way   And as far as I'm concerned   I'm glad I got the 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 I do today   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     Well, you came and opened me   And now there's so much more I see   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 coming 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, in bad times   I'll be on your side forevermore   That's what friends are for     Keep smiling, keep shining   Knowing you can always count on me   For sure   That's what friends are for   For good times, and bad times   I'll be on your side forevermore   That's what friends are for     In good times, in bad times   I'll be on your side forevermore   That's what friends are for     In good times, in bad times   I'll be on your side forevermore   That's what friends are for   (transcribed by Roman )
