You've Got A Friend

A guy with his guitar playing a song for you, is always nice; and most definitely flattering. I'm sure this is how he ended up with a ring on his finger.

Love this song. Love the way he plays the guitar. Love his voice. I don't know his name though, but he does it so effortlessly. However, the lyrics is a bit different from the original version.

Try listening to it when you are experiencing solitude. Listening to this song makes me wonder/think/ponder...a couple of names came into my mind. Just remember you've got a friend. 'winter, spring, summer or fall; all you got to do is call...and i'll be there, yes i will...'

Hugs anyone? *hugs*





You've Got A Friend
(by: Carole King
as performed by: James Taylor)

When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

If the sky above you
should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
and soon I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.

You've got a friend.
