That's What Friends Are For
Eternal Bonds: Embracing Friendship's Resilience
Lyrics
And I never thought I'd feel this way
Expressing surprise or unexpected feelings.
And as far as I'm concerned
Expressing a personal perspective or opinion.
I'm glad I've got a chance to say
Grateful for the opportunity to express something.
(whacha gonna say?)
Inviting a response or inquiry.
That I do believe I love you (aw, man)
Affirming love towards the listener.
And if I should ever go away
Contemplating the possibility of separation.
Well then, close your eyes and try
Encouraging visualization of positive memories.
To feel the way we do today
Reinforcing the significance of the current emotional state.
And then if you can remember
Prompting the act of recollection.
Keep smiling keep shining
Encouraging a positive outlook and persistence.
Knowin' you can always count on me for sure
Assuring reliability and support.
That's what friends are for for good times
Defining the role of friends in good times.
And bad times
Recognizing the presence of friends in bad times.
I'll be on your side forevermore
Committing to lasting friendship.
'Cause that's what friends are for oh, yeah!
Reiterating the essence of friendship.
Play it, Jimmy!
Cue for a musical interlude.
Well, you came and opened me
Acknowledging a positive impact from the listener.
And now there's so much more I see
Expressing expanded awareness due to the listener's influence.
(whaddya see?)
Curious inquiry about the listener's perspective.
And so by the way, I thank you
Expressing gratitude for the positive changes.
And then for the times that we're apart
Acknowledging separation and its emotional impact.
Well, then close your eyes and know
Encouraging positive thoughts during separation.
These words are comin' from my heart
Asserting sincerity and heartfelt emotions.
And then if you can remember
Prompting the act of recollection.
Oh, keep smiling keep shining
Reiterating the encouragement to stay positive and resilient.
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
Reaffirming reliability and support.
That's what friends are for in good times
Restating the role of friends in good times.
And bad times
Recognizing the presence of friends in bad times.
I'll be on your side forevermore
Committing to lasting friendship.
That's what friends are for
Summarizing the essence of friendship.
Keep smiling keep shining
Reiterating the encouragement to stay positive and resilient.
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
Reaffirming reliability and support.
Oh, that's what friends are for
Emphasizing the defined role of friends.
For good times and for bad times
Repeating the acknowledgment of friends in both good and bad times.
I'll be on your side forevermore
Committing to lasting friendship.
That's what friends are for keep smiling
Encouraging the maintenance of a positive demeanor.
Keep shining
Encouraging continued radiance and positivity.
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
Reaffirming reliability and support.
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
Emphasizing that supporting friends is a key aspect of friendship.
For good times and for bad times
Repeating the acknowledgment of friends in both good and bad times.
I'll be on your side forevermore
Committing to lasting friendship.
That's what friends are for
Summarizing the essence of friendship.
(That's what friends are for oh, yeah
Expressing enthusiasm or excitement.
Where's my harmonica?)
Cue for the conclusion of the musical performance.
