When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is 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, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will
Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them, oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I will
You've got a friend
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend?
Ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know
You've got a friend?
Oh yeah now, you've got a friend
Yeah baby, you've got a friend
Oh yeah, you've got a friend

[@wylancslass]

This is one of my favourite songs ever! The version by Barry Manilow and Melissa Manchester is my favourite. It helped me get through losing my Husband 4 years ago. Thanks for this. It definitely raised a smile.

[@lindyloops9965]

WOW!! I am embarrassed to say this is my first time hearing you. I've known your name for a while. You've inspired too many people to count! Guess my timing wasn't right. And I am sure happy I just discovered you. Again I say "WOW" ❤

[@andredemers69]

Hi Cynthia; after 50 times playing it I play it exactly like you do (perfect chucks, I even do your bar technique now)....I'm SOOOOO happy, I love playing along with you; wish I could play in person along with you!!

[@irenebaggetto5237]

I like so much the fact you put in the video the chords while you're singing the lyrics

[@philomenapeterson1790]

Yes. I love this song and now I can play it on my ukulele. Great job, Cynthia

[@jennyyoung6064]

one of the wake-up-soul songs which is touched me spiritually...thank you, Cynthia Lin.

[@reyraoasuncion5409]

Oh my I have never seen a musician that comes down from Heaven. You are so refreshing to our soul .

[@adorableNicaLoca]

my daughter had watched this over and over and in 2 days she's able to grasp everything while it took me 2 weeks (not on a daily basis, though) And she had to teach me because I just couldn't get it. haha! Thank you vmuch! We learn a lot from you.

[@kathimayr4070]

Wow wow wow. I'm speechless. This was soo beautiful and calm and AH. Georgeous

[@ukewalls4220]

That was absolutely lovely, and the sound of your uke is great would love to know what strings you use

[@magicbrit]

Breath taking!

[@danielletrottier6699]

Soo Nice ! Such a beautiful song ! i would appreciate so much to have a tutorial of it...please... thank you for all your tutorials, you are a wonderful teacher !

[@tiapham1936]

Happy 2021 dear Cynthia - thank you so much for all your beautiful music, voice, and ukulele teachings - I have learnt so much from you this past year, you are an incredible musician and teacher!

[@poblesed426]

Allways , your emotional uke!!! Gracias por todo Cinthia

[@arthill2310]

A great song, and a great cover! I love it!

[@TheBlagblagblag]

Fantastic. You put such delicacy into your singing. I love this song, reminds me of the housemartins!

[@christinaciano1445]

WELL DONE, Chewie!!! And Cynthia too :)

[@MILLANNAMUSICTHEATER]

I love you!! I am really happy to find you, all your songs touch my heart, and I want to play their. Do you have a video with your solo concert? I would like to see))

[@arnaldo9838]

Recordar é viver duas vezes...lindo!

[@lucamagaud5903]

Literally can NOT get enough. I'm tearing through your songs, learning a technique here, a tip there, and progressing faster than i have with any other channel!!! If you could do some more James Taylor songs it would be GREAT (maybe "Your Smiling Face"? No tutorial for it out there, and its a popular song I bet since it appeared in American Pie...?)

[@lucamagaud5903]

Also, I think it would be great if you could create an "Advanced Beginner/Intermediate playlist"? Tutorials that include Riffs and picking and new/different techniques of that sort

[@taleahcox7406]

Cynthia, thank you for all your beautiful music! I just got my first uke this year and your videos are the BEST on KZbin for learning. You're an amazing teacher! Do you take requests? There's a song by Regina Spektor that's not very well known, "Bartender", and I would LOVE to learn it on my uku, but there are no renditions of it, nor can I find chord charts for it, since it's a song she's only ever played live and not one of her big hits. I think with your voice, teaching style, and music knowledge, you could make this happen for us beginners. Keep on playing, I love your videos!

[@alciotumulak4502]

Beautiful songs, very easy way of teaching. I learned most of your tutorials. Continue the good work Cynthia

[@zitazingt]

Beautiful. Thank you! ❤

[@lany.9674]

OMG!! I looooovveee it!! Thank you so much!! Now I will practice, but seriously thanks so much for this tutorial 😍😍😍😍

[@jacknolan62]

This is brilliant! Thank you!!

[@yasminsantiago5982]

💕lovely interpretation.🌺🌺🌺

[@fredchan4060]

Wow！magnetic voice!

[@benedictleong8423]

This is my favourite Cynthia Lin performance. :-)

[@davidvargas1748]

Oh my gosh you have such a beautiful voice and soul. I recently subscribed since I followed your shallow tutorial and class cover and you are so amazing. Thanks so much and my mom even started playing with me! Much love from Virginia Beach 🏖 ♥️

[@condo2013]

What a great surprise ! I love this song and so James Taylor 🥰 and so Cynthia Lin 🥰 =)

[@SeanVplayer]

How about an 'honorable mention' of Carole King, the woman who wrote and recorded it? A huge hit from her Fantastic "Tapestry" album in 1971. James Taylor did a good job with it, but IMHO did not bring anything new to the song.

[@philomenapeterson1790]

Thank you. So beautifully sung and played. I will love to play this.

[@susiebingham9841]

Loved this, play along was fun. Hope Chewie is adjusting well to paradise. hugs from Susie

[@user-kd7oz9oj2m]

넘 멋지세요~ 설명도 잘해주시고... fan이에요!! You're so cool.

[@Havacado313]

Awwwww, this makes me so happy!!! 😄😄😄

[@ito1510]

Beautiful!!!!!!

[@dorainjacobs888]

So pretty! Can't wait to learn this song. Thank you so much!

[@vickyboo1355]

[@JenniferHasegawaLand]

Love this tutorial! Thank you Cynthia!

[@Mulberry2000]

Lovely. I have a uke but it hurts my finger every time i strum and it does not get better with usage. Lovely voice and playing, and the dog loves it as well.

[@bethgoffe7710]

Lovely, as usual. Could you please do a tutorial on Dear Theodosia from Hamilton? I’d love to learn that one.

[@jessatimbal92]

why your voice sounded so great to my ears huhuhu

[@loving_football345]

I need to learned this music … please !!! I could make a tutorial please … I love your working 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😘

[@karlgw]

[@Ingridv8x]

I knew you were great already, but now it's confirmed: all the best people have dogs :-))

[@ansevata2012]

Hello ! Very nice song, is this in direct live ? Because there is a game play with the chords, in the introduction between the 33 rd second and the 38 sec of the song, i d like to see how you make it with the chords of the ukulele please. Thanks. Have a nice day.
