That's What Friends Are For (with Elton John, Gladys Knight & Stevie Wonder)

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 smilin', keep shinin'

Knowin' 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 forevermore

That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened 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

These words are comin' from my heart

And then if you can remember, oh

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 forevermore

Oh, that's what friends are for, oh

Oh, keep smilin', keep shinin'

Knowin' 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 forevermore

That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'

Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure

'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for

For good times and for bad times

I'll be on your side forevermore

That's what friends are for (that's what friends are for) (yeah)

On me for sure

Count on me for sure, count on me for sure

That's what friends are for

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
