precious lord, take my hand / you've got a friend

when you're down and troubled

and you need some loving care

and nothing

nothing is going right

close your eyes and think of me

and soon i will be there

to brighten up even your darkest night

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 have to do is call

and i'll be there

you've got a friend

if the sky above you

grows dark and full of clouds

and that old north wind begins to blow

keep you head together

and call my name out loud

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 to see you again

winter

spring

summer or fall

all you have to do is call

and i'll be there

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

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 have to do is call

and i'll be there

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
