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 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 forever more
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 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 forever more
That's what friends are for

I never thought I'd feel this way before
But I'm glad I got the chance to say I love you,
I love you
That's what friends are for

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 forever more
That's what friends are for
