(Tompall Glaser)

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.

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't be with me and you
So stand beside me, I'll be standing right there
Yes, 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...
