That's What Friends Are For
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.
Oh, I never thought I'd feel this way.
And as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I've got a chance
To say that I do believe I love you.
And if I, I should ever go away…
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel the way we do today.
And then if you can't remember…
Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me for sure!
That's what friends are for.
For the good times and the bad times.
I'll be on you side forever more.
That's what friends are for.
Yeah!
And now, though you heard it all before…
Well, I'll tell you one more time, so I can be completely sure.
So you know how much I love you.
And if I should ever go away…
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel the way we do this day.
And then if you can't remember…
Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me for sure!
That's what friends are for.
For the good times and the bad times.
I'll be on you side forever more.
That's what friends are for.
