[Verse 1]
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
Do believe I love y'all
And if I should ever go away (Dionne Warwick)
Hello, everybody
I wanna tell y'all, y'all been singing your faces off out here
I've been loving every second, I really have
It's been wonderful, wonderful

[Chorus]
I want you to keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
The good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for, and that's thе truth

[Verse 2]
You came and opened mе (Came and opened me)
Now there's so much more I see (So much more I see)
And so, by the way, I thank you (By the way, I thank you)
And then, for the times when we're apart (Apart)
Close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my big ol' heart
Remember (Remember)
[Chorus]
Keep smiling (Smiling), keep shining (Shining)
Knowing you can always count on me for sure (Count on me for sure)
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)
In good times (Good times), in bad times (Bad times)
I'll be on your side forevermore
Oh, that's what friends are for

[Chorus]
Hey, keep smiling (Keep smiling), shining (Shining)
Knowing you can count on me for sure
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)
In good times (In good times) and bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
Yeah, it is, folks
It's about friendship
Keep smiling, oh yeah
Knowin' you can count on me for sure
You see, that's what friends are for
Ooh
