Lean on Me
 

Lean On Me
by Club Nouveau

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on (lean on me)
For it won't be long
'Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

We be jammin'
We be jammin' hey yeah
We be jammin'

We be jammin'
We be jammin' man hey
We be jammin'

Just call on me (when you need a friend)
Call on me (oh baby now)
Call on me (when you need a friend)
Call on me (oh baby now)

Call on me (when you need a friend)
Call on me (oh baby now)
Call on me (when you need a friend)
Call on me (oh baby now)

You've Got A Friend~ words & music by Carole King


When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving 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 to see you
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
Oh, but don't 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

My Friend
Blessed Union Of Souls

Put your head on my shoulder
No need to worry about a thing
I'll be the cure for your loneliness
I'll make you feel like your whole again
And you can always count on me wherever i may be
When this world's got you feelin blue
Call on me and I'll run to you
My friend


On my wings we both can fly
Cause there's no burden big enough
And when you're hurtin baby so am I and we'll both cry
There's nothin stronger than our love
And you can always count on me, wherever i may be
Oh i'm gonna find the way
To a better day
My friend


So let me be the one to save ya
Cause its the least that i can do
And you don't have to return the favor
Cause i promise you
Oh we're gonna make it thru
My friend


Put your head on my shoulder
No need to worry about a thing
If you need me I'll be there in a hurry
Call on me, time and time again
Cause you're my friend

Thank You For Being A Friend
( Andrew Gold )

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend

At your side
THE CORRS

The Corrs - At Your Side Album: In Blue

When the daylight's gone and you're on your own And you need a friend just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand


And you know that
I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side


If life's standing still and your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes (make mistakes)
You can't let me down (let me down)
I will still believe (still believe)
I will turn around


And you know that
I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, and you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side


I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
You know that


I'll be at your side, there's no need to worry
Together we'll survive through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go,
'Cos I'm right there
I'll be at your side, I'll be right there for you
(Together we'll survive) through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone, you've got somewhere to go,
'Cos I'm at your side


I'll be right there for you
I'll be right there for you, yeah
I'm right at your side

You guys are awesome... this was just what I needed today... thank you :)

Bridge Over Troubled Water ~simon and garfunkel

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

amen

ditto Lil..

Friends

Elton John

I hope the day will be a lighter highway
For friends are found on every road
Can you ever think of any better way
For the lost and weary travellers to go

Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then everything's all right

It seems to me a crime that we should age
These fragile times should never slip us by
A time you never can or shall erase
As friends together watch their childhood fly

I Will Come to You

Hanson

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear I'll be there come what may

When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

I will come to you

'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
And you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand

I'll reach out and take your hand

Oh I will come to you
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

Oh I will come to you
Oh I will come to you

I will come to you,
Oh I will come to you

One Friend, Dan Seals

I always thought you were the best;
I guess I always will.
I always felt that we were blessed,
And I feel that way, still.
Sometimes we took the hard road,
But we always saw it through.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Sometimes the world was on our side;
Sometimes it wasn't fair.
Sometimes it gave a helping hand;
Sometimes we didn't care.
'Cause when we were together,
It made the dream come true.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me,
And knows me inside out.
And helps keep me together,
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain:
Someone to tell it to.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

(Instrumental Break)

'Cause when we were together,
It made the dream come true.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me,
And knows me inside out.
And helps keep me together,
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain:
Someone to tell it to.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Or....

Whenever I Call You Friend
Kenny Loggins

Whenever I call you friend
I begin to think I understand
Anything we are
You and I have always been ever and ever


I see myself within your eyes
And that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do, always takes me home to you
Ever and ever


Now I know my life has given me
More than memories
Day by day we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on


Sweet love showin' us a heavenly light
I've never seen such a beautiful sight
Sweet love flowin' almost every night
I know forever we'll be doin' it...right


Whenever I call you friend
I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are you and I were meant to be
Forever and ever


I think about the times to come
Knowin' I will be the lucky one
Ever our love will last
I always want to call you friend


Sweet love...sweet love
You're the glowing light in my life
The source of pride in my life
Everything I do takes me back to you

Lyrics by Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson;
performed by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell;


Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
No wind, no rain
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough

That's What Friends Are For
Dionne Warwick

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 smilin' keep shinin'
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

Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Ohh That's what friends are for

Keep smilin' keep shinin'
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

Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me oh for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

You’re a friend of mine

Clarence Clemons & Jackson Browne
(on the Clarence Clemons album Hero)



Striking out?
Well count me in
I’m gonna stand right by your side through thick or thin
Ain’t no doubt
Gonna win
A walk through hell ain’t bad compared to where we’ve been

Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die

Years may come and go
Here’s one thing I know
All my life
You’re a friend of mine

That argument
I can’t forget
We fought so hard I don’t think I’ve recovered yet
The girls we knew
Who thought you were cool
I never introduced my favorite ones to you

Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die

Years may come and go
Here’s one thing I know
All my life
You’re a friend of mine

Oh you can depend on me
Over and over... over and over
Know that I intend to be
The one who who always makes you laugh until you cry
And you can call on me until the day you die

Years may come and go
Here’s one thing I know
All my life
You’re a friend of mine

Oh you can depend on me
I’ll be fine
Cause you’re a friend of mine
Yeeaah
I’ll be fine
Cause you’re a friend of mine

You knew it was coming...
 

Friends In Low Places
Garth Brooks


Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

[3rd Verse:]
I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass

well being the Michael Jackson fan that i am, (too the end no matter what the outcome of his life is) he does have very good songs, so here is a good one that i like to listen to when i may be having a some troubles with life


"Keep the Faith" Written and Composed by Glen Ballard, Siedah Garrett and Michael Jackson

If you call out loud
Will it get inside
Through the heart of your surrender
To your alibis
And you can say the words
Like you understand
But, the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest sea, hee,
All you need is the will to want it
And uhh, little self-esteem

So keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round
You gotta know when
It's good to go
To get your dreams
Up off the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
Believe in yourself
No matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner
But you got to keep the faith
...Gon' keep it brother
You got it

And when you think of trust
Does it lead you home
To a place that you
Only dream of
When you're all alone
And you can go by feel
'Stead of circumstance
But the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

I know that you can
Sail across the water
Float across the sky, high
Any road that you take
Will get you there
If you only try

So keep the faith, ow
Don't let nobody
Take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes
On the prize
And your feet
Flat on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out

I told my brother how to
Do the thing right
Lift up your head and show
The world you got pride
Go for what you want
Don't let 'em get in your way
You can be better
But you got to keep the faith
You got it

I know that keepin' the faith
Means never givin' up on love
But the power that love has
To make it right

Makes it
Makes it right

Keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round brother
You got to know
When it's good to go
To get your dreams up
Off the ground
Keep the faith
Baby, yea
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out

Better stand up and act like
You wanna do right
Don't play the fool
For the rest of your life
Work on it brother
And you'll make it someday
Go for what you want
And don't forget the faith

Look at yourself
And what you doin' right now
Stand back a minute
Just to check yourself out
Straighten out your life
And how you're livin' each day
Get yourself together
'Cause you got to keep the faith
Uh, uh, uh

Don't let nobody take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And your feet flat on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out

Lift up your mind
Before your mind gets blown
Some things in life
You best just leave them alone
Go for what you want
Don't let it get in your way
You can make it happen
But ya got ta keep the faith

Gon' keep it brother
You got to keep the faith
Yeah keep the faith
Gon' keep it sister
You got to keep the faith
Now, now

I'll show my brotha
How to do the thing right
Lift up your head
And show the world you got pride
Go for what you want
Don't let 'em get in your way
You can be a winner
If you keep the faith

Straighten out yourself
And get tour mind on track
Dust off your butt
And get your self-respect back
You've known me long enough
To know that I don't play
Take it like you want it
But you got to keep the faith
Gon'

Don't let nobody
Take you down
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And get your feet
Back on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
But till that day
I said you've got to
Keep the faith

10, 000 maniacs-trouble me

trouble me.
disturb me with all your cares,
and your worries.
Trouble me
on the days
when you feel spent.

why let your shoulders bend
underneath this burden
when my back
is sturdy and strong?

trouble me.

(speak to me)
don't mislead me.
the calm I feel
means a storm is swelling.
(speak to me)
there's no telling
where it starts
or how it ends.

(speak to me)
why are you building
this thick brick wall
to defend me
(speak to me)
when your silence
is my greatest fear?

why let your shoulders bend
underneath this burden
when my back is sturdy and strong?
speak to me.

(trouble me)
let me have a look inside these eyes
while I'm learning.
(speak to me)
please don't hide them
just because of tears.
(trouble me)
let me send you off to sleep
with a "There, there, now stop
your turning and tossing."
(trouble me)
let me know where the hurt is and how to heal.

spare me?
don't spare me anything troubling.

trouble me.
(trouble me)
disturb me with all your cares
and your worries.
(speak to me)
and let our words
build a shelter from the storm.

lastly,
(speak to me)
let me know what I can mend.
there's more, honestly,
than my sweet friend,
you can see.
trust is what I'm offering
if you trouble me.
