"You've Got A Friend"
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 where ever I am I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call and i'll be there, 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 Soon i’ll be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am i'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call and i'll be there 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, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am i'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call and Lord, i'll be there, yeah, yeah,you've got a friend. You've got a friend ain’t good to know,you've got a friend. Ain’t good to know you've got a friend. Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.
