Anne Murray: You've Got a Friend

You've Got a Friend

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights

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 have to do is call
and I'll be there.
Yes I will, you've got a friend

If the sky above you grows dark
And full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

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 have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will

Now 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
Don't you let them

CHORUS: You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, running
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know
That you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know
That you've got a friend

Oh happy day
Oh happy day
Oh happy day
