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
Oh
and then for the times when we're apart
Well
then close your eyes
and lovely words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember:
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
Keep smilin'
keep shinin'
