    • Lyrics : That's What Friends Are For

    When you're lonely, when you're blue
    When you need someone to talk to
    When you need a talkin' to
    And when troubles full and plenty
    Come pilin' at your door
    That's what friends are for

    Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world
    If every now and then a single voice was heard
    Telling it like it should be, makin' it simple and plain
    If that man needs a helpin' hand
    Help him in from the rain

    Now I know you, know you well
    And I know that you've been worryin'
    It's not hard for me to tell
    But I'm standin' right beside you
    Of that you can be sure
    That's what friends are for

    Ladies and gentlemen of the whole wide world
    If every now and then a single voice was heard
    Telling it like it should be, makin' it simple and plain
    If that man needs a helpin' hand
    Help him in from the rain

    So remember, take your time
    Just be sure and let it harmonise
    Yeah, be sure and let it rhyme
    I might call on you to see me through
    So open up your door
    That's what friends are for
    That's what friends are for
