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.
When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
And nothing oh nothing is 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've got to do is call
And I'll be there yes I will
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...
Oh ain't it good to know that you've got a friend people can be so cold
They'll hurt you desert you they'll take your soul if you let them
So don't you let them
You just call out my name...
Mhm you've got a friend
