You've Got A Friend

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Mmm, when you're down and troubled

And you need some love and care

And nothing, oh nothing, is going right

Just 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 running (oh yeah), to see you again, oh, oh

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend

You've got a friend

If the sky up above you

Grows dark and full of clouds

And that old cold, north wind begins to blow, oh, oh, oh

Just keep your head together

And call my name out loud

Soon, you'll hear me knocking at your door, ooh, hoo

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come run, run, run, run, running to see you again, oh, oh

Winter, spring, summer or fall, yeah

Said all you have to do is call

And I'll be there

Oh, ain't it good to know that

You've got a friend?

When people can be so cold

They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you

And take your soul if you let them

Oh, but don't you let them, ha

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running, running, run, running to see you again, ooh, hoo

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend, oh, baby

You've got a friend, oh, oh, baby

You've got a friend, ooh, honey

You got, you got a friend, ooh, hoo

You've got a friend

I said, you've got a friend
