It's easy, to be there
When things are all well and good
It's hard to love
When things are rough
But I know that's when you need me most
I'll be the shelter
In the rain and the storm
I'll be the lifeline
Be a glimmer of hope
Just be the rope you need
To help you to shore
Oh there's just something
I need you know
I'm here when you need a friend
I'm here when you need a hand
I'm here when you need a smile
I'm here when nobody cares
I'm here when you need a friend
I'm here when you need a hand
I'm here when you need a smile
I'm here when nobody can
It's been so many years
And I still put you first
When you gave me your heart
And I still kept your trust
And you know I'm the man
Your father hoped that I'd be
When one day we grow old
That'll still be me
I'll be the shelter
In the rain and the storm
I'll be the lifeline
Be a glimmer of hope
Just be the rope you need
To help you to shore
Oh there's just something
I need you to know
I'm here when you need a friend
I'm here when you need a hand
I'm here when you need a smile
I'm here when nobody cares
I'm here when you need a friend
I'm here when you need a hand
I'm here when you need a smile
I'm here when nobody can
All your friends come and go
Give them a call and you'll know
Through the ups and the downs
You know I'm always around
Through the good and the bad
I'll give you all that I have
Just say the word and I'm here
Give a call and you'll see
I'm here when you need a friend
I'm here when you need a hand
I'm here when you need a smile
I'm here when nobody cares
I'm here when you need a friend
I'm here when you need a hand
I'm here when you need a smile
I'm here when nobody can
