Thats 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 then if you can remember:

Keep smilin'
keep shinin'

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 and opened 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 lovely words are comin' from my heart

And then if you can remember:

Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
. . .
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
. . .
