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

chorus
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 got to do is call
And I'll be there. You 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 hands together
And call my name out loud
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door
+chorus+

Ain't it good to know you got a friend
When people could be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
Well they'll take your soul if you let them
But don't you let them
