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 lonely, when you’re blue
When you need someone to talk to, when you need a talkin’ to
And when troubles full and plenty come pilin’ at your door
That’s what friends are for
Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world
If every now and then a single voice was heard
Telling it like it should be, makin’ it simple and plain
If that man needs a helpin’ hand, help him in from the rain
Now I know you, know you well
And I know that you’ve been worryin’, it’s not hard for me to tell
But I’m standin’ right beside you, of that you can be sure
That’s what friends are for
Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world
If every now and then a single voice was heard
Telling it like it should be, makin’ it simple and plain
If that man needs a helpin’ hand, help him in from the rain
So remember, take your time
Just be sure and let it harmonise, yeah, be sure and let it rhyme
I might call on you to see me through, so open up your door
That’s what friends are for
That’s what friends are for
