    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!

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.

    Here we are in the year 2024, on the brink of Civil War in the United States, multiple countries experiencing Civil War, looking at world War 3 in the whites of the eyes, living in a broken generation of entitled, sensitive, and disrespectful youth... and it saddens me that people don't know how to be "that friend" and the gravity of the message in this beautiful song. I hope everyone listening to this song will ve better friends and more selfless. Shalom 🙌❤️

    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 💙

      ​@@nickcaps5630 This is a prime example of somebody who spent most of their life inside and away from others as a child and didn't really know how to interact, upon discovering the loving and fun communities of social life and friend groups, they decide they want to be known by everyone as a cool person and have many friends that admire them and give them attention. However, because they spent a lot of their time on the internet and away from other people while not learning social rules and norms, they approach groups and people wrong by saying or doing something looked down upon and are told that what they did is wrong (most of the time in a good way but not always). Now this is where they hit a fork in the road, they either learn what they did was wrong and admit to it in order to become better and accepted by others therefore eventually forming into a person who connects with people positively and continues on to better things, or they lash out at the people who told them they were wrong because they were told no in a mean way or had parents who never declined them; So then they assume that the people who told them they did something wrong are the bad guys and their enemy.

    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

    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
