Covington High School — meeting old friends. . . meeting new friends. When you’re down and troubled and you need a helping hand And nothing, nothing is going right Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there To brighten up even your darkest nights You just call out my name and you know wherever you are I’ll come running to see you again Winter, spring, summer or fail, all you’ve got to do is call And I’ll be there you've got a friend.
