Oh, I never thought I'd feel this way And as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chance to say That I do believe I love you And if I should ever go away Well then close your eyes and try To feel the way we do today And then if you can remember Keep smilin' Keep shining' Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for For good times And bad times I'll be on your side forevermore That's what friends are for And I thoug you heard it all before Well, I tell you one more time So I can be completely sure So you know how much I love you And if I should ever go away Well then close your eyes and try To feel the way we do this day And then if you can remember Keep smilin' Keep shinin' Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for For good times And bad times I'll be on your side forevermore That's what friends are for
