Another well-known version is by American singer-songwriter James Taylor from his 1971 album "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon". His was released as a single in 1971 reaching number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 4 on the UK Singles Chart.

King and Taylor performed "You've Got a Friend" together in 2010 during their Troubadour Reunion Tour.

Youve Got a Friend
James Taylor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you've got to do is call
And I'll be there, ye, ye, ye
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 you head together
And call my name out loud now
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yes I will, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall, ye
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, ye, ye, yeah

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, don't you let 'em now

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again, oh baby, don't you know
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey now, all you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend, yeah

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend

Oh, ye yeah, you've got a friend

Line by Line Meaning

When you're down and troubled
When you're feeling low, and things aren't going your way

And you need a helping hand
When you need someone to support and help you

And nothing, nothing is going right
When everything in your life seems to be going wrong

Close your eyes and think of me
Visualize me in your mind and imagine my presence

And soon I will be there
I will come to you very soon

To brighten up even your darkest night
I will bring light into your life, even during your worst times

You just call out my name
If you need me, simply say my name

And you know wherever I am
You can be sure that I will come to you, no matter where I am

I'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see you again
I will hurry to you eagerly to see you once more

Winter, spring, summer or fall
In any season, at any time

All you've got to do is call
Just ask me for help

And I'll be there, ye, ye, ye
I will be by your side

If the sky above you
If everything around you

Should turn dark and full of clouds
Turns negative and cloudy

And that old north wind should begin to blow
If you get hit with cold, blowing wind

Keep you head together
Stay calm and focused

And call my name out loud now
Ask me for help right away

Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door
I will come to your rescue very soon

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
It is comforting to have someone to rely on

When people can be so cold
In a world where many people can be unkind and cruel

They'll hurt you, and desert you
People may cause you pain and abandon you

And take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, don't you let 'em now
Don't let negative people consume your spirit and soul

Hey now, all you have to do is call
Remember, just reach out to me and I will come

And I'll be there, yes I will
I promise to be by your side and provide support

You've got a friend
You always have me as a loyal and trustworthy friend

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
It is wonderful to know that you have someone you can count on

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
It is reassuring to know that you have someone who cares

Oh, ye yeah, you've got a friend
You know that you always have me as a friend

I can promise you that your friend is truly at rest now. A couple years ago I lost my wife, mother to my son, and my best friend, so I truly know your pain. Just know that our spirit, our soul is truly eternal, and this human existence is but a glimpse of what we truly are, and what we’ve got ahead of us. I hope you can find peace in knowing that your friend is by no means gone, they’re just on the other side of a mountain that is in between the two of you. One day, that mountain will be moved and the two of you will be reunited. Take care, fellow human 🙏🙂

I heard this song a week ago and every hair stood up on my neck. I was instantly transported back to my 9 year old self. It’s bedtime and I’m huddled amongst some old musty smelling cream wool blankets , I’m alone in a pitch black room. There’s a creaking around me and a whistle of wind coming in through the cracked rickety window. Theres a scratching noise behind the skirting boards. Usually scary but insignificant now compared to the excruciating throbbing pain in my heart that keeps taking my breath away. My whole body ached like never before. I need my daddy to pick me up and hug me . I need to snuggle against him while smelling his soft warm jumper. I need to push my face into his to kiss him and for him to kiss me right back even with just stubbly chin The nuns at my school had said miracles exist. So I prayed while I sobbed for God to return my daddy back to me or to take me to him. I knew he wouldn’t leave me without a goodbye .I screamed into the pillow covering it with tears, mucus and spit . My jaw hurt so badly. I wept until my head felt like it would explode. I needed my daddy more than anything in the world. I knew he’d come back , he just wouldn’t leave me .. he would send me a message I wasn’t sure how. I hid under the blankets scared a monster would come . Under my pillow was an old tranny radio. Battered and old with a dial to try to find a station . My mother had told me if I listened to it at night the a policeman would come and shout at me and we would get into trouble. . So I’d hidden it well. Under the covers I’d try to tune it in . The reception was iffy , muffled voices and crackles over music , voices came and went I was hoping my dad might talk to me through the little old radio . His voice might just come if I listened intently .
The pain in my heart battered and bruised me. I wondered if it was possible to die under my blankets and God lift me up through the world to my daddy. As I turned the nob on the battered paint stained radio suddenly this song came on and spoke to my pain . The words entered my mind and my broken heart. They soothed something in me as the ends of my fingers chewed broken nails throbbed to the music . The words in the song told me my daddy was always with me . He was still here he was my friend I just couldn’t see him.
It’s impossible to convey how much this song comforted and spoke directly to me. Talking about my dad’s death was not an option at that time . I was left to find my own way to process the pain.
James Taylor I thank you so very much for offering something to me to hold on to.

It takes me back to that day holding on to my best friends hands so tight looking out in the crowd and seeing my mother wiping her tears she was so proud of me . So many friends have moved on or gone to the other side now but this song brings me to that day when our lives was just starting out and we thought we would be together forever.

Carole King wrote it and she sings her version on the Tapestry album. This is the best version though.

This song ..shows just how important it is to have a friend or a lover you feel strongly about. Someone who transcends the gift you have been given by meeting and knowing them and their love!
