LYRICS
You've Got A Friend by Carole King

When you’re down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing
Oh, nothing is going right

Just close your eyes and think of me
Yes, and soon I will be there
To brighten up
Oh, even your darkest nights

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running
To see you again

It’s winter, spring, summer or fall
Now all you got to do is call on me
And I will be there, yeah, yes, I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend

If the sky high above you
Should grow dark and full of clouds
And that old cold north wind
Should begin to blow

Just keep your poor head together now
And call my name out loud, you know
Pretty soon
I’ll be knocking on your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running
To see you again

It’s winter, spring summer or fall
Really, all you got to do is call
And I’ll be there
You know I’ll be there

Oh, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, yes, and desert you
Well, they’ll take your soul if you let them
But don’t you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running like as fast as I can
To see you again

Oh, yes, don’t you know about that

Winter, spring, summer or fall
Oh, all you’ve got to do is call
And I will be there
Yeah, yes, I’ll be there

You’ve got a friend
You’ve got a friend
Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
Walking and talking and everything friend
Well, I said everybody here tonight in Pittsfield
No matter how low you may go sometimes
Ought to take some consolation in one thing, oh, yeah
Ain’t it good to know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You’ve got a friend
