And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got a 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!
And 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!

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 comin' from my heart!
And then if you can remember . .
Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure!
And 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!
