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 than if you can't remember

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me
For sure, that's what friends are for
And bad times, I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came in lovin' me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Oh, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, just close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can't remember, oh

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me
For sure, that's what friends are for
And bad times, I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me
For sure, that's what friends are for
And bad times, I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me
For sure, that's what friends are for
And bad times, I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Mmm hmm that's what friends are for
Mmm hmm, yeah
