Lyrics

Verse 1

(Alto) When you’re down and troubled and you need a helping hand

And nothing, oh nothing is going right.

Just close your eyes and think of me, and soon I will be there,

To brighten up even your darkest night

Chorus

(All) You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am, I’ll come running – (Alto, Low) to see you again.

(All) Winter, spring, summer or fall,

All you have to do is call

(Soprano, Alto) And I’ll be there, yes, I will, (Alto) you’ve got a friend

​

Verse 2

(Soprano, Alto) Ooh - (Low) If the sky high above you should grow dark and full of clouds,

(Soprano, Alto) Ooh - (Low) And that old, cold north wind should begin to blow.

(All) Just keep your head together, and call my name out loud

(Soprano) Ooh - (Alto,Low) Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door.

​

Chorus

(All) You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am, I’ll come running – (Alto, Low) to see you again.

(All) Winter, spring, summer or fall,

All you have to do is call

(Soprano, Alto) And I’ll be there, yes, I will
