You’ve Got A Friend Lyrics By James Taylor

    when you’re down and troubled
    and you need a helping hand
    and nothing whoa nothing is going right
    close your eyes and think of me
    and soon i will be there
    to brighten up even your darkest nights

    you just call out my name
    and you know wherever i am
    i’ll come running oh yeah baby
    to see you again
    winter spring summer or fall
    all you got to do is call
    and i’ll be there yeah yeah yeah
    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 now
    soon i be knocking
    upon your door

    you just call out my name
    and you know where ever i am
    i’ll come running oh yes i will
    to see you again
    winter spring summer or fall yeah
    all you got to do is call
    and i’ll be there yeah yeah yeah

    hey ain’t it good to know
    that you’ve got a friend
    people can be so cold
    they’ll hurt you
    and desert you
    well they’ll take your soul
    if you let them
    oh yeah but don’t you let them

    you just call out my name
    and you know wherever i am
    i’ll come running
    to see you again oh baby don’t you know ’bout
    winter spring summer or fall
    ain’t now all you got to do is call
    lord i’ll be there yes i will
    you’ve got a friend

    you’ve got a friend yes
    ain’t it good to know
    you’ve got a friend
    ain’t it good to know
    you’ve got a friend
    oh yeah yeah
    you’ve got a friend
