You've Got a Friend Lyrics

[00:08.88] When you're down and troubled
[00:14.36] And you need a helping hand
[00:19.44] And nothing, oh, nothing is going right
[00:27.28]
[00:29.81] Close your eyes and think of me
[00:34.96] And soon I will be there
[00:40.11] To brighten up even your darkest night
[00:47.34]
[00:49.88] You just call out my name
[00:55.57] And, you know, wherever I am
[01:00.28] I'll come running, oh, yeah, baby
[01:05.15] To see you again
[01:08.04]
[01:11.79] Winter, spring, summer, or fall
[01:16.93] All you got to do is call
[01:21.75] And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:26.16] You've got a friend
[01:29.29]
[01:36.81] If the sky above you
[01:42.86] Should turn dark and full of clouds
[01:48.06] And that old north wind should begin to blow
[01:55.17]
[01:59.13] Keep your head together
[02:03.69] And call my name out loud now
[02:10.35] Soon I'll be knocking upon your door
[02:16.80]
[02:18.80] You just call out my name
[02:23.82] And, you know, wherever I am
[02:28.84] I'll come running, oh, yes, I will
[02:33.59] To see you again
[02:36.77]
[02:40.56] Winter, spring, summer, or fall, yeah
[02:45.84] All you got to do is call
[02:49.93] And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
[02:55.79] Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
[03:01.46] When people can be so cold?
[03:06.65] They'll hurt you and desert you
[03:11.88] Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
[03:16.32] Oh, yeah, but don't you let them
[03:21.51] You just call out my name (out my name)
[03:27.52] And, you know, wherever I am
[03:32.65] I'll come running
[03:37.17] To see you again
[03:40.43] Oh, baby, don't you know 'bout
[03:43.92] Winter, spring, summer, or fall
[03:48.64] Hey, now, all you've got to do is call
[03:53.41] Lord, I'll be there, yes, I will
[03:56.87] Well, you've got a friend
[03:59.91]
[04:04.12] You've got a friend, yeah
[04:08.43] Ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
[04:12.14] Ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
[04:17.49] Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend
[04:20.24]
