I’ll Stand by You

I’ll Stand by You

Oh.
Why you look so sad?
the tears are in your eyes
come on and come to me, now

don’t
be ashamed to cry
let me see you through
’cause I’ve seen the dark side, too.

when the night falls on you
don’t know what to do
nothing you’d confess
can make me love you less.

I’ll stand by you.

I’ll stand by you.
won’t let nobody hurt you.
I’ll stand by you.

so,
If your mad, get mad!
Don’t hold it all inside
come on and talk to me, now

afraid
what you got to hide
I get angry too.
well I’m a lot like you.

when you’re standing at the crossroads
don’t know which path to choose
let me come along
’cause even if you’re wrong

I’ll stand by you.
I’ll stand by you.

I’ll stand by you.
won’t let nobody hurt you.
I’ll stand by you.

take me into to your darkest hour
I’ll never desert you.
I’ll stand by you.

and when
when the night falls on you, baby
you’re feeling all alone
walking on your own.

I’ll stand by you.
won’t let nobody hurt you.
I’ll stand by you!

take me into to your darkest hour
I’ll never desert you.

I’ll stand by you.

I’ll stand by you.
won’t let nobody hurt you.
I’ll stand by you.

…on and on…
I’ll stand by you.
