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.
When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing's going right
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
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
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
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Yes, you've got a friend
Don't you know you've got a friend?
Ain't you've heard you've got a friend?
Don't you know about your friend?
He's a good friend now, yes. . Yes
