When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
 Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights. 

You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
  I'll come running,
oh yeah baby to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
 all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    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
and soon I will be knocking upon your door.
 You just call out my name
 and you know where ever 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, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Hey, ain't it good to know
that you've got a friend?

People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them. 
 You just call out my name
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
    You've got a friend.

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
    You've got a friend.

My Daughter, My Friend

A little girl-child, what a joy!
To think some say, "I'd like a boy"
When looking forward to a birth . . .
They never knew a daughter's worth.
What price, a laugh so full of glee?
 How much, a fairy on my knee?
A nickel's worth of shining hair
 And ribbons, or a smile so fair.
What cost, to see her grow too soon
 Toward high-heels, lipstick,
        and perfume?
No, money couldn't pay for her,
And so God loaned her, as it were.
For, it's worth more than I could spend,
For such a daughter, and a friend.

I Love You and hope your day is
special like so many "special" days you
have given me.
