That's What Friends Are For
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 smilin' keep shinin'
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 smilin' keep shinin'
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
Ohh That's what friends are for

Keep smilin' keep shinin'
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

Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me oh for sure
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

You’re a friend of mine

Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne
(on the Clarence Clemons album Hero)



Striking out?
Well count me in
I’m gonna stand right by your side through thick or thin
Ain’t no doubt
Gonna win
A walk through hell ain’t bad compared to where we’ve been

Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die

Years may come and go
Here’s one thing I know
All my life
You’re a friend of mine

That argument
I can’t forget
We fought so hard I don’t think I’ve recovered yet
The girls we knew
Who thought you were cool
I never introduced my favorite ones to you

Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die

Years may come and go
Here’s one thing I know
All my life
You’re a friend of mine

Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die

Years may come and go
Here’s one thing I know
All my life
You’re a friend of mine

Oh you can depend on me
I’ll be fine
Cause you’re a friend of mine
Yeeaah
I’ll be fine
Cause you’re a friend of mine

Friends In Low Places
Garth Brooks


Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

[3rd Verse:]
I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass

well being the Michael Jackson fan that i am, (too the end no matter what the outcome of his life is) he does have very good songs, so here is a good one that i like to listen to when i may be having a some troubles with life


"Keep the Faith" Written and Composed by Glen Ballard, Siedah Garrett and Michael Jackson

If you call out loud
Will it get inside
Through the heart of your surrender
To your alibis
And you can say the words
Like you understand
But, the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest sea, hee,
All you need is the will to want it
And uhh, little self-esteem

So keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round
You gotta know when
It's good to go
To get your dreams
Up off the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
Believe in yourself
No matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner
But you got to keep the faith
...Gon' keep it brother
You got it

And when you think of trust
Does it lead you home
To a place that you
Only dream of
When you're all alone
And you can go by feel
'Stead of circumstance
But the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

I know that you can
Sail across the water
Float across the sky, high
Any road that you take
Will get you there
If you only try

So keep the faith, ow
Don't let nobody
Take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes
On the prize
And your feet
Flat on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out

I told my brother how to
Do the thing right
Lift up your head and show
The world you got pride
Go for what you want
Don't let 'em get in your way
You can be better
But you got to keep the faith
You got it

I know that keepin' the faith
Means never givin' up on love
But the power that love has
To make it right

Makes it
Makes it right

Keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round brother
You got to know
When it's good to go
To get your dreams up
Off the ground
Keep the faith
Baby, yea
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out

Better stand up and act like
You wanna do right
Don't play the fool
For the rest of your life
Work on it brother
And you'll make it someday
Go for what you want
And don't forget the faith

Look at yourself
And what you doin' right now
Stand back a minute
Just to check yourself out
Straighten out your life
And how you're livin' each day
Get yourself together
'Cause you got to keep the faith
Uh, uh, uh

Don't let nobody take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And your feet flat on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out

Lift up your mind
Before your mind gets blown
Some things in life
You best just leave them alone
Go for what you want
Don't let it get in your way
You can make it happen
But ya got ta keep the faith

Gon' keep it brother
You got to keep the faith
Yeah keep the faith
Gon' keep it sister
You got to keep the faith
Now, now

I'll show my brotha
How to do the thing right
Lift up your head
And show the world you got pride
Go for what you want
Don't let 'em get in your way
You can be a winner
If you keep the faith

Straighten out yourself
And get tour mind on track
Dust off your butt
And get your self-respect back
You've known me long enough
To know that I don't play
Take it like you want it
But you got to keep the faith
Gon'

Don't let nobody
Take you down
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And get your feet
Back on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
But till that day
I said you've got to
Keep the faith

a little help from my friends - joe cocker


What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
Are you sad because you’re on your own?

No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can’t tell you but I know it’s mine

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody? I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

bump cause i needed to read these

The Beatles - Any Time It All

Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all ,
all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.
If you need somebody to love, just look into my eyes, I'll
be there to make you feel right.
If you're feeling sorry and sad, I'd really sympathize.
Don't you be sad, just call me tonight.
Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all ,
all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.
If the sun has faded away, I'll try to make it shine,
there's nothing I won't do
If you need a shoulder to cry on I hope it will be mine.
Call me tonight, and I'll come to you.
Any time at all, any time at all, any time at all ,
all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.
Any time at all, all you've gotta do is call and I'll be there.

10, 000 maniacs-trouble me

trouble me.
disturb me with all your cares,
and your worries.
Trouble me
on the days
when you feel spent.

why let your shoulders bend
underneath this burden
when my back
is sturdy and strong?

trouble me.

(speak to me)
don't mislead me.
the calm I feel
means a storm is swelling.
(speak to me)
there's no telling
where it starts
or how it ends.

(speak to me)
why are you building
this thick brick wall
to defend me
(speak to me)
when your silence
is my greatest fear?

why let your shoulders bend
underneath this burden
when my back is sturdy and strong?
speak to me.

(trouble me)
let me have a look inside these eyes
while I'm learning.
(speak to me)
please don't hide them
just because of tears.
(trouble me)
let me send you off to sleep
with a "There, there, now stop
your turning and tossing."
(trouble me)
let me know where the hurt is and how to heal.

spare me?
don't spare me anything troubling.

trouble me.
(trouble me)
disturb me with all your cares
and your worries.
(speak to me)
and let our words
build a shelter from the storm.

lastly,
(speak to me)
let me know what I can mend.
there's more, honestly,
than my sweet friend,
you can see.
trust is what I'm offering
if you trouble me.
