Intro : When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand And nothin', no, nothin'is goin'right        Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest night. You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am I'll come runnin', to see you again Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, all you gotta do is call And I'll be there, yes, I will You've 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 head together and call my name out loud Soon, I'll be knocking upon your door. Refrain Say, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend When people can be so cold They'll hurt you, and desert you And take your soul if you let them Oh, Lord, but don't let them. Refrain
