you've got a friend

So this is a nerdy story about me from when I was in 7th grade.  One of the first albums that I owned was Carol King's Tapestry album.  One of the songs on the album was, You've got a friend.

I was only 13 but I loved the long.  I still love it, to this day.  So, I wanted to paste the words up in my locker at school.  We had a typewriter and I worked on the lyrics.  Listening to them over and over to get the words just right.  I wanted it to look good so I kept typing it over until I had all the verses with no mistakes or corrections.

Once I was happy with my typed out lyrics, I took it to scool and taped itup in my locker.  It made me happy to see those words every day.

Yesterday I sent a note to a friend.  It is important to remember that we have a friend.  Always.  Friends for life.

Here are the lyrics.....................

When you're down and troubled,
And you need some love and 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 your head together and call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

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

Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them,
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, yeah, to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
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
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend?
Ain't it good to know?
Ain't it good to know?
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend?
