Lyrics of
You've Got A Friend

Youve Got a Friend was written by Carole King and included in her 1971 album, Tapestry. James Taylor, who recorded the song the same year, had a major hit, which solidified him as a solo artist. The close friendship between King and Taylor, along with their musical collaboration relationship, inspired the creation of this song.

When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
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
(refrão)
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
(yes I will ) You've got a friend
If the sky above you should turn
dark and full of clouds and that old north
wind begin to blow
Keep your hair together and call my name
out loud/ Soon I'll be knocking upon your door
(refrão)
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
They'll take your soul if you let them
Ooh, but don't you let them
(refrão)
