    Lyrics:
    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 smiling, keep shining
    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

    This song was a charity single for AIDS research and prevention in 1986 where most artists were distancing themselves from the epidemic. Dionne was a pioneer in every way. love!

      6042,I've experienced friendships like this ( and I'm crying as I type this ) 2005 I was in Iraq with the Texas Guard at Camp TQ fighting against insurgents there and me and my battalion were going through pure hell. LOL. We all had a very-STRONG-bond in our battalion,guys were saving each others lives,a true-BROTHERHOOD. Had my good friend Ssgt Martinez save my life while we were conducting a raid on a home in Iraq. Thank you again Leonard Martinez. I now miss that bond and friendship MORE than ever. LOL. A bond and friendship brought together by a shared experience. I've listened to this song 7 times already,I guess it triggered some memories from long ago. God bless.

    What a tremendous, timeless gem. I remember around 35 years ago traveling on a bus during peak hour one morning. The bus was packed full of commuters going about their daily business, then this song came on the radio.
    The bus driver cranked up the volume and suddenly the atmosphere on the bus changed. For a few brief minutes every single person on that bus forgot about what they were doing or thinking, and became lost in this sweet, euphonious masterpiece.
    The entire bus was silent and people began looking around at each other as though they all possessed a common understanding, and for a brief moment in time, we were all bonded together in blissful harmony. Then we got off the bus and went about our day, with what I like to imagine, a slightly different perspective of the world. A moment I'll never forget 💙

      I wish I grew up then. Because now I'm stuck growing up in a generation filled with trash music. I listen to 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music, and I really agree that it's much better than what singers crank out now. You both are very lucky to have lived through such a time where music was blossoming and blooming and when it would touch your heart and make you cry or make you feel proud for who you are, or whatever its goal was. From all the information I've gathered, music used to be much more creative, but now it's just kinda getting to be the same thing over and over again. Real talent used to present itself and show its face... but now it remains in the dark, hidden and alone.

    Oh and then for the times when we're apart
    Well, then close your eyes and know
    The words are coming from my heart
    And then if you can remember
    Keep smiling and keep shining
    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
    That's what friends are for
    Keep smiling, keep shining
    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 smiling, keep shining
    Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
    Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
    Whoa, good times and the bad times
    I'll be on your side forever more
    That's what friends are for

    LYRICS:
    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 smiling, keep shining
    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 in loving me
    And now there's so much more I see
    And so by the way
    I thank you
    Oh and then for the times when we're apart
    Well, then close your eyes and know
    The words are coming from my heart
    And then if you can remember
    Keep smiling and keep shining
    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
    That's what friends are for
    Keep smiling, keep shining
    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 smiling, keep shining
    Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
    Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
    Whoa, good times and the bad times
    I'll be on your side forever more
    That's what friends are for

    All the time Gladys smiles and looks up to them, as if they are singers and she's not and then nails her part with this powerfull voice. Amazing song.

    I'm just realizing that the most brilliant part of this song is the musicianship between Knight and John, they absolutely nail their transition from one to the other, absolutely nail the vocals, that transition makes the song, that vocal work that they do is absolutely perfect!!
