Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 I 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

In 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
And then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know

These 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
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore

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 forevermore
That's what friends are for

In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times





I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
