      This song, by the talented singer
      CAROL KING has always been
      a favorite of mine. I have finally managed
      to get the words to it and can add it to my
      pages. 
      You've Got a Friend
       
      
      When You're down and troubled
      And You need some loving care
      And nothing, nothing's going 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 running 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 knocking at Your door
      
      You just call out my name
      And You know wherever I am
      I'll come running to see You again
      Winter, spring, summer or fall
      All You have to do is call
      And I'll be there
      
      Ain't it good to know that You've got a Friend
      When people can be so cold
      They'll hurt You, and desert You
      And take Your soul if You let them
      
      You just call out my name
      And You know wherever I am
      I'll come running 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
      
      Carole King


      ~ There are hugs that say I like you 
      and I hold your friendship dear.
      There are hugs that say "good going" 
      you deserve a great big cheer.
      There are hugs that say goodbye,
      good luck in all that lies ahead.
      There are hugs that say I love you
      when no other words are said.
      There are hugs that soothe and
      say to us you're free from cares and harms.
      The kind of hug we feel when 
      God holds us within His arms.~

      Rainbow of Friendship
      
      It takes both sunshine and rain
       to make rainbows, thats true...
      Alas, my rainbow was colorless
       til Ifound a friend in you!
      Now you've added sparkle and shine,
      My rainbow is brighter and
       your friendshine is mine!
      I will do as that which is done,
      I'll treasure your friendship like
       a flower does sun!
      And in return, I'll color your
       world as friends will do,
      we'll create a perfect rainbow,
       that started with you!
      Makes no matter, a pot of gold,
      I'll be your friend
       til we're both very old.
      And when we shine, 
      as friends always will,
      Our rainbow of friendship
       will be brighter still.
      No matter the sun,
       no matter the rain...
      Our friendship will shine
       and our rainbow will gain!
      We'll build our rainbow,
       on trust and love,
      Growing and adding
       more colors from above!
      We'll find new friends,
       and build many more dreams,
      Our rainbow of friendship
       neverending it seems!
      For now, we start, just you and I,
      Friends forever, til we become 
      colors in the sky!

      I Have A Friend
      
      I have:
      wealth, companionship, smiles, love,
      Because I have a friend.
      
      I see new things,
      I learn each day,
      I receive warmth,
      I get understanding,
      Because I have a friend.
      
      I give:
      compassion, caring, love, understanding,
      Because I have a friend.
      
      In you I see:
      The benefits of friendship,
      The need for understanding,
      The wanting to belong,
      The happiness of sharing.
      
      So I must ask you now,
      Please always be my friend.
