Lyrics

When I'm feeling low
And I need a friend
I know I can call on you
And when there's trouble on my mind
And no place to turn
There's a lesson I've learned from you
(You are my) good friend
That's what you are
My only true friend
You are my star
'cause when I need you
You're always by my side
When troubled by my fears
And all alone
You give me a song to sing
And when my world turns upside down
And I can't touch the ground
(You are my) good friend
That's what you are
My only true friend
You are my star
'cause when I need you
You're always by my side
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Throughout the world
Everyone needs one
Someone to be one
(You are my) good friend
That's what you are
My only true friend
You are my star
'cause when I need you
You're always by my side
(Ad lib)
