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

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.

[@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

[@kathimayr4070]

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

[@HelenasUkulele]

Thank you Cynthia for your tutorial of You've Got A Friend, I really enjoyed learning and covering this one. Blessings to you :)

aww I really love your voice! Excellent performance! 💛 If I can only have a voice like yours, I would definitely sing everyday!

[@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" ❤

[@ukewalls4220]

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

[@bruce065]

[@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.

[@susannayeu4471]

Awesome

[@marlasmith9307]

Beautiful version of one of my favorite songs! Thank you for this tutorial.

[@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

[@lany.9674]

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

[@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 !

[@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))

[@rosemariewatkins1478]

Chewie always gets a big thumbs up from me!

[@ericmueller1987]

Another beautifully done song!

[@fredchan4060]

Wow！magnetic voice!

[@zitazingt]

Beautiful. Thank you! ❤

[@rebeccablackman609]

Thanks!

[@bethgoffe7710]

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

[@jacknolan62]

This is brilliant! Thank you!!

[@ito1510]

Beautiful!!!!!!

[@poblesed426]

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

[@BedtimeAnytimeStories]

wow beautiful!

[@Gigi123ify]

What a kute song. So sweet

[@arthill2310]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@rebeccablackman609]

Love your vedios and you!!!

[@TheBlagblagblag]

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

[@tedyabut7628]

Thanks Cynthia for this song which is my favorite. Please sing another song I will by the Beatles... Thanks

[@RicoSilva]

crying here I loved!!!

[@MJsEasyMusic]

i love your voice. this song is so sweet!!

[@frankwolfert4092]

Du singst diesen Song perfekt !Unglaublich berührend und gefühlvoll!

[@jessatimbal92]

[@mr.deerband]

[@lv2rdhonu783]

Lovely 🌺 one of my favorites!

[@carlamarie2785]

Hello Cynthia thank you for this ♥️ My dog just passed away and this made me teary eyed, I love you

[@mayabaroom4046]

So Sorry

[@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.

[@pwrouzaud]

Really well done and beautiful. Thanks

[@DrumnBird1]

Thank you, Cynthia! You've Got a Friend here!!

[@patricktee6496]

Cynthia Lin, you are simply amazing beautiful and talented

[@philomenapeterson1790]

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

[@kathyfolkulele]

Sweetest thing ever! 🐾❤️🐾

[@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 🏖 ♥️

[@arnaldo9838]

Recordar é viver duas vezes...lindo!

[@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!
