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 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 in loving 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, then close your eyes and know

The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember


Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for

In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
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

Keep smiling, keep shining

Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
'Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
Whoa, good times and the bad times

I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
