Carole bayer sager and burt bacharach
And I never thought Id feel this way
And as far as Im concerned
Im 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 smiling, keep shining,
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure
Thats what friends are for
For good times and bad times
Ill be on your side forever more.
Thats what friends are for
I never thought Id feel this way
Well you came and opened me
And now theres so much more I see
And so, by the way, I thank you.
And then for the times when were 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
Thats what friends are for
In good times and bad times
Ill be on your side forevermore
Thats what friends are for
