You've Got A Friend

James Taylor's You've Got A Friend sang out friendship so true and warm!

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

I counted myself blessed to have many friends in my life. Different friends come running to my different needs at different times.

You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

I may be one lonely voice in an organization on an issue and felt very lousy, I just need to tell it to a friend in an email, he would write - mGF (read as my good friend), I am so proud of you. It really made the day!

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
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yes, people can get so cold, but friends are always there - warm and close!

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.

In life's journey, it's really nice to have some good friends.

I met these three good friends who travelled together from Miri to Kota Kinabalu for a trip of friendship. They were in an Island Hopping trip too. I was attracted by the warmth of friendship as they did some exercises together. And as I watched, as I thought whether I could join them, Jacinta extended her friendship and invited me to join them!


You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

Thanks, Jacinta for the friendship!
