Barbra Streisand

Songwriter: Carole King

Producer: Richard Perry

When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is goin' 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 runnin' to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All ya have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend, 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
And soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall

All ya 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 runnin' runnin' runnin' yeah' to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All ya have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I wil, yes I will
You've got a friend, 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
You've got a friend

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
