Whenever You Need A Friend words and music by Hank Easton

Verse 1:

I want to be a man that always does the best he can

Who listens when you talk - Who lifts you when you’re down

Who will always be the one you want by your side, at night

Chorus 1:

Not just when you need a friend

Not just when you need someone to hold on to

But whenever you need a friend, la la la la la la la la

Verse 2:

Sometimes I sit and stare and wonder just why I’m here

There must be more than this, though I’m happy where I sit

And I know I’m at my best when you’re by my side that’s right

Chorus 2:

Not just when I need a friend

Not just when I need someone to hold on to

But whenever I need a friend

Bridge:

I want to be the one you hold at night that makes things right

I want to be a man that always does the best he can

la la la

Verse 3:

Who knows what things we’ll do, the places we’ll go

The people we’ll meet

But I’ll be next to you - you’ll be next to me

And together we will be no matter where we go

Chorus 3:

Not just when we need a friend

Not just when we need someone to hold on to

But whenever we need a friend (Repeat chorus) la la la la la la la la
