——Carole King
When you’re down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothin’, nnothin’ is goin’ right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’ to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you’ll hear me knockin’ at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’, runnin, yeah, yeah,
to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes I will
Now ain’t it good to know
that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them.
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come runnin, runnin’, yeah, yeah, yeah
to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll 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,
ain’t it good to know,
ain’t it good to know,
you’ve got a friend,
oh yeah now, you’ve got a friend,
yeah baby, you’ve got a friend,
oh yeah, you’ve got a friend.

The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
I love this song, but what is even better is that your sister recomended it as YOUR song. What a lovely compliment.
I think this is going to be a great FM for getting more insight into how people see themselves. I love this song!
Yup, this song totally fits you! Love you tons sister!
I love this song. How wonderful that your friends see you this way too.
A wonderful choice and the video is outstanding with Carol King, herself, performing with Celine, Gloria Estefan, and Shania Twain.
I would hope that some of my family and friends would name this song if I had asked them. But you know for sure your family thinks of you this way! Beautiful song.
This is one of my favorites! Thanks for posting…it’s just so hard to pick one song…glad you posted this!
Happy FM
You’ve got a friend…here in BLOGOsphere!
Happy Fun Monday!
A great song, and artist too.
What a wonderful song. It says alot about you. Thakns for playing.
You’ve Got A Friend is a great song. How lovely that your sister thought it described you!
My mom taught me a little about appreciating good music. One of her favorite things to do was pull out her old record collection. Seeing that cover brings back memories.
I don’t know the song and the artist but the text is nice !
I found this meme very difficult this week !
Love that song and great that people think of you when they hear it.
Hey, great choice for a fun monday song. V cool that all of the FM songs I’ve visited so far have been really positive 🙂
Has reminded me that there is some great music out there – think I might be paying a visit to iTunes later!
Yes truly a wonderful song!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic song ~ I would love it if my friends saw me this way.
That song brings back some great memories.
That brings back memories. Of high school, old friends. Good choice!
You picked a great song! You hubby is funny, I looked up smack water jack. Funny!
My momma has improved a lot. I’ll be off and on over the next week. We just got to take one day at a time. Thank you for being there for me!
Awesome choice. Love the lyrics.
Happy Fun Monday-ing!!!
A great song from what is possibly the best album ever. I think I wore that album out when it first came out.
Thanks for the reminder and how lovely that you and sister have this.
I now have “You’re so vain” going through my head. Gotta love Carole King.
Another great ‘oldie’……another one I will be humming to myself today!
Agreed ellenb–what would we do without our friends? Love the music of the artists who’ve been around long enough to understand some of the deeper things.
I adore Carole King and this song is so incredible. Way better than Smackwater Jack!
Wonderful song this one! I love the lyrics, reminds me of my teenage years …
A nice song that tells alot about you. I think anyone should be proud and flattered if someone told them that was their song.
I love Carole King and I love this song. I have fond memories of that album from my childhood.
I listened to this album til the grooves wore out. Yep, I’m THAT old!
Great choice, a few of Carole King’s crossed my mind (I was definitely thinkin’ older songs…).
Great choice :).
So you. And a wonderful rendition.
I love this song…what a wonderful compliment to you!!
good pick! happy monday!
I have this album but can’t play it anymore. We gave Tim B our turntable. Oh, but I think I have James Taylor on a Cd singing this.
Perfect song for you! I’m so glad you and my sister are friends and now she is sharing you with me.
I haven’t heard that one in ages. Great song1
I love that song too – takes me back to the 70s!
Great song!!!!
Great choice of songs! It tells me a lot about you. And I used to own this album back in 1971 or 72, knew every song by heart and sang along with gusto every chance I got.
