You've got a friend

My daughter was given a CD and it has a version of the song "You've got a friend" by Carol King ... its one of those songs that makes me happy-sad, if that's possible. Its the kind of song that makes me want to hug all the people who've stood by me over the years, through all the craziness, the raging, the trying, the moving, the returning, the babies, the break-ups and heartbreaks, the first flush of new love, the excitement and disappoitments of life - it makes me thing of the song "Ben" by Michael Jackson, same kind of effect.

When you're down and troubled

And you need some loving 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 to see you

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold

They'll hurt you, 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 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

I don't know what that was all about, but it's out there now :0)
