That's What Friends Are For

Performed with Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder
Written by BacharachReleased as a UK single in 1985

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 smiling, keep shining
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 in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Balletjie

For any Afrikaans speaking people reading this: (English speaking people....it is just a simple non-stop "song" about a ball! really silly....hahaa..we always sang it during the athletic/rugby season...great times....."balletjie" is the diminutive form of "ball"....some nouns get a "tjie" to show the diminutive form ...and in this case...ball which is "bal" in Afrikaans...get "e-tjie" because of the "l" on the end...tricky hey...LOL!
