You've got a friend

I share with you today 'You've got a friend' by the great Carole King. I find this song a hymn to friendship, and it gives me a thrill every time I listen to it, as I think of my friends, from the past, from the present and from the future.

LYRICS

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, 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 have 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 you'll hear me, soon you'll hear me knocking on your door

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
Yes, I will

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, 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
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Yes, I will
You've got a friend 

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
I'm so glad to have a friend in you
And know you're glad to have a friend in me
.........................
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend
