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''

Knowin'' 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
Whoa, 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, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always

count on me, for sure
That''s what friends are for

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

Oh, that''s what friends are for
Whoa... oh... oh...

keep smilin'', keep shinin''
Knowin'' 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 smilin'', keep shinin''

Knowin'' you can always
count on me, oh,
for sure

''Cause I tell you
that''s what friends are for

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

That''s what friends are for
(That''s what friends are for)

On me, for sure
That''s what friends are for
Keep smilin'', keep shinin''
