I STAND BY YOU

Verse 1

Through the rain and through the night
Through the distance and the lights
When the world is turning cold
You will never be alone

Every road we used to know
Every place we used to go
Lives inside my memory
Like a perfect melody

When your dreams are falling down
When your smile can't be found
I will always be around
Standing on familiar ground

Pre-Chorus

Take my hand and you will see
What our love was meant to be
Every heartbeat tells the truth
I stand by you

Chorus

I Stand By You

When the clouds are passing by
I Stand By You

When the stars fill up the sky

No matter where the winds may blow
No matter what we're going through

You can always count on me
Because I stand by you

Verse 2

Every morning brings a chance
Every night another dance
Every song reminds me why
Love can never say goodbye

In a world that moves so fast
Only true hearts ever last
Every moment that we share
Shows me how much you still care

If the shadows cross your way
If the colors start to fade
I will help you find the light
And bring back better days

Pre-Chorus

Take my hand and you will see
What our love was meant to be
Every heartbeat tells the truth
I stand by you

Chorus

I Stand By You

When the clouds are passing by
I Stand By You

When the stars fill up the sky

No matter where the winds may blow
No matter what we're going through

You can always count on me
Because I stand by you

Verse 3

Every train keeps moving on
Every night becomes a dawn
Every dream can still come true
If somebody believes in you

Through the laughter and the tears
Through the days and through the years
One thing always stays the same
Like an everlasting flame

When tomorrow finally comes
And another song begins
We will still be side by side
Just like we've always been

Pre-Chorus

Take my hand and you will see
What our love was meant to be
Every heartbeat tells the truth
I stand by you

Final Chorus

I Stand By You

When the clouds are passing by
I Stand By You

When the stars fill up the sky

No matter where the winds may blow
No matter what we're going through

You can always count on me
Because I stand by you

I Stand By You

When the clouds are passing by
I Stand By You

When the stars fill up the sky

Forever side by side
Forever me and you

I Stand By You
I Stand By You
