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      chorus   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 got to do is call   And I'll be there, yes i will   You got a friend      If the sky above you should turn dark   And full of clouds   And that old north wind should begin to blow   Keep your hands together   And call my name out loud   Soon I'll be knocking upon your door      repeat chorus      Ain't it good to know you got a friend   When people could be so cold   They'll hurt you and desert you   Well they'll take your soul if you let them   But don't you let them
