Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care

I can't stand to think that I might be alone
Not alone again, not the way it was back then
Before you walked into my heart and told me we'd never part
So stand beside me, don't ever let me be alone again

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you, I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care

There'll be times when everything goes wrong
But darling, I won't care if I know you're standing there
No matter what we have to do, together we can see it through
So stand beside me and I'll be standing right there next to you

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you, I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care

(Instrumental Break)

Now the sands of time may turn our hair to silver
But growing old is fun if your young heart's true to one
You know it's true to you, like it can be with me and you
So stand beside me, I'll be standing right there, yes, right next to you

Stand beside me, stand beside me
For if I should lose you, I just couldn't get anywhere
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one who ever made me care
