That's What Friends Are For Lyrics
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 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, 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, for sure
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
(Thats what friends are for)
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
(Thats what friends are for)

A song to celebrate all kinds of friendship.
I don't quite understand how only two people coulda put their meanings on this song. This song is like one of the ultimate classic songs for best friends.
My best friend sang this at our prom Makes me feel happy, and nastalgic, and just great
wow this is the first time i actually read the lyrics to this song..i never really listened to it cuz it doesnt really hold my attention for that long..for awhile i kinda hated the song..but my best friend gave my a mixed cd for my birthday and of course he had to put this song on it ..i used to just skip it when the song came on... but now i just might listen to it..i do hope someone remakes it so the sound will hold my attention tho..
Perception is key. I actually do have a couple amazing friends who never left my side and a family member who has my back. My circle is tight these days. My mom told me once you're lucky if you have one good friend and she was right. I like to sing this song. Reminds me of being a kid and a teen. When I grew up I had all kinds of friends but then life happens and you grow up.
I put my foot in my mouth damn it but I was serious. Okay my last song. It's cheesy but reminds me of being a kid and I like to listen to it when I'm sad.:)

I always liked this song but every time I've heard and sang it it makes me sad. It has emotion to it but I think it's suppose to be uplifting. I probably come across as being a victim or feeling sorry for myself but sometimes I have good reason. It makes me sad because I think of all the people who've hurt me and let me down in my life. I wish I had friends like this and I really don't so it hurts to hear. Romantically it makes me think about things that didn't work our thst way or ever happen but even so they could of still been a friend and been there for me, even if they didn't want more than that. Begging for friendship is really sad. I guess why would one want a friend who doesn't want to be a friend to them or care for them in any way.
This is a beautiful song but has an element of sadness running through it. It reminds me of losing people we love and how they want us to carry on :(
