That's What Friends Are For (With Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder) Songtext
von Dionne Warwick

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 and opened me
And now there′s so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you


Whoa 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 forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Whoa oh-oh

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
Oh-oh


Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, that′s 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 forever more
That's what friends are for
(That′s what friends are for)
(Ha-ha, yeah)

On me for sure
I don't need for sure
I don′t need for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
