And that's what friends are for
And 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't remember
Keep smiling, 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
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way, I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, 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
I never thought I'd feel this way but I
I'm glad I got the chance to say that
I love you, I love you, I love you
(That's what friends are for)
That's what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
Knowing you can always
Count on me for sure
And that's what friends are for
