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 we 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 
For good times and bad times 
I'll be on your side forever more 
That's what friends are for  

Well you came in loving me 
And now there's so much more I see 
And so by the way I thank you  

Oh and then for the times when we're apart 
Well then close your eyes and know 
The 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 forever more 
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 forever more 
That's what friends are for  

Keep smiling, keep shining 
Knowing you can always count on me, o for sure 
Come and tell you that's what friends are for 
For good times and for bad times
 I'll be on your side forever more
 That's what friends are for
