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 

And then for the times when we're apart 
Well then close your eyes and know 
These 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
