“You’ve Got A Friend”
When you’re down and troubled,
And you need some love and care,
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 night.
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
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
Soon you’ll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
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 running, running, yeah, yeah, yeah, to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes I will.
You’ve got a friend
You’ve got a friend
Ain’t it good to know, 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?
Oh yeah, now
Oh, you’ve got a friend
Yeah, baby
You’ve got a friend
Oh yeah…
You’ve got a friend

At Lowertown cafe,
customers buy meals
for
struggling strangers

“…The coronavirus hit suddenly and made the artists sick or out of work.
Most were unaccustomed to asking for help.
“We are humans.
We are all concerned about being embarrassed,” said Remke…”
“…The program has been broadened to accept anyone hurt by the epidemic.
Donors pay the restaurant, often while picking up their own meals.
Remke thanks them on social media, using their first name or an alias.
The recipient uses that name in the daily code.
“They might say, ‘Bob sent me’ or ‘Kat sent me,’ ” said Remke.
Donors say they are helping their favorite restaurant
as they help economic victims of the virus…”
