That's What Friends Are For MV
by Dionne Warwick & Friends
Elton John、Stevie Wonder、Gladys Knight





高中时代第一次从收音机里听到这首歌曲
开头的那段口琴旋律便萦绕心中，挥之不去
多年之后，这初冬的夜与这段动听的旋律再次相遇
重温起昔日的朋友情谊，如今的物是人非怎能不让人唏嘘不已！
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
无论顺境，还是逆境，我都会永远在你身边
这才是朋友，不是吗？

这首歌最初是由英国歌手Rod Stewart在电影《Night Shift》中演唱
1985年，为给艾滋病基金会募款，Dionne Warwick联手
Elton John、Stevie Wonder和Gladys Knight重新录制了这首歌
由于四名歌手全是当时顶尖的实力派唱将，再加上这首歌曲的特殊意义
歌曲很快在全球走红，并荣获了1986年度第29届格莱美奖最佳单曲

Dionne Warwick、Stevie Wonder、Whitney Houston & Luther Vandross

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'
Knowin' 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

Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for

Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' 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'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you 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 (That's what friends are for)

On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
