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 smiling, keep shining 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 in loving 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 know The words are coming from my heart And then if you can remember Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure That's what friends are for And good times and bad times I'll be on your side forever more That's what friends are for Keep smiling, keep shining 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 Keep smiling, keep shining Knowing you can always count on me, for sure 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 (Thats what friends are for)
