No matter what the problem
I'm here to hold your hand
Reaching out with kindness
You know I'll understand

In life we all have problems
It seems to be that way
We laugh and cry together
Our hearts will rule the day

You have always been there
In this very special way
In just one fleeting moment
Life's kindness heart's bouquet

Friendship has great meaning
When shared so graciously
Together now my sweet friend
We're healing constantly

In life we need each other
The love is always there
Friends in life forever
Perhaps in silent prayer

Burdens in life many
Tears in life will fall
When the world seems empty
Our shadows standing tall.

You've Got A Friend
~ Written and Composed by Carole King ~

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 a-runnin'
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
He begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me
Knockin' at your door
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come a-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 and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, don't let them

You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I'll come a-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

You've got a friend,
You've got a friend,
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know
