be so cold’.

helping hand’.

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Tetaplah tersenyum, tetaplah bersinar
Knowin' you can always count on me
Karena kau tahu bisa selalu percaya padaku
For sure, that's what friends are for Refrain/chorus
Pasti, itulah gunanya teman
And bad times, I'll be on your side forever more
Dan di saat-saat buruk, aku selalu di pihakmu
That's what friends are for
Itulah gunanya teman
Oh, and then for the times when we're apart Verses
Oh, dan untuk saat-saat ketika kita berjauhan
Well, just close your eyes and know
Pejamkanlah matamu dan ketahuilah
These words are coming from my heart
Kata-kata ini keluar dari hatiku
And then if you can't remember, oh
Dan jika kau tak bisa mengingatnya, oh

Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Tetaplah tersenyum, tetaplah bersinar
Knowin' you can always count on me

And bad times, I'll be on your side forever more
Dan di saat-saat buruk, aku selalu di pihakmu
That's what friends are for Coda
Itulah gunanya teman
