Friends (Led Zeppelin cover) Lyrics

Bright light almost blinding
Black night still there shining
I can't stop, keep on climbing
Looking for what I knew

Had a friend, she once told me
"You got love, you ain't lonely"
Now she's gone and left me only
Looking for what I knew

Mmm, I'll tell you now
The greatest thing you ever could do now
Is bring your smile to someone who's blue now
It's very easy

Met a man on the roadside crying
Well, I'm afraid, and there's no denying
With people feeling there'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew

So anytime somebody needs you
Don't let them down, although it grieves you
Some day you'll need someone like they do
Looking for what you knew

Mmm, I'm telling you now
The best thing you ever could do now
Is bring a smile to someone who's blue now
It's very easy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Investing for your children's future — one has to wonder if the little ingrates deserve it. That aside, establishing an investment for your children means considering what investment to make. Stocks or mutual funds can't be in a minor's name, and they are risky. You could look into <a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/12/17/savings-bonds-childrens-futures/ ">savings bonds</a> — traditionally, they are the most stable investment to make, and they can be dedicated in the child's name. A bevy of savings bonds, built up over time, can provide for a college education or a little extra cash once they graduate high school.
