Lesson Name: Reflecting and Writing About Friendship

of me, and soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest night CHORUS: You just call on my name, and you know wherever I am, I'll come running to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fall: all you've got to do is call And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah You've got a friend If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds, And that old north wind should begin to blow, Keep your head together and call my name out loud now And soon I'll be knocking upon your door CHORUS BRIDGE: 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 they'll take your soul if you let them Oh, yeah But don't you let themc CHORUS
