and watched while you drove away
     driving my car,
     in the rain, in the dark
     Well, every dog seems to have her day.

     I've been in this, alone so long
     and I'm begining to wonder why I stand in one place,
     a different name
     a different face.
     no ones gonna see me cry

     I need someone to stand by me
     stand by me, just one time.
     I hope somebody stands by me
     stands by me, just one time
     I don't understand,
     it's slipping through these hands.
     I think by now I know,
     where to let go
     all I know is here I am baby
     won't you stand by me?

     I'm not bending tonight
     but, I'm twisted and turned
     and broken down

     But Im starting to know
     the sound of something,
     no one, and yet,
     everything.

     Well if God's here tonight
     are you here tonight?

     Maybe you could grab me up,
     stand me on my feet
     give me strength
     set me free.

     Im not giving in till
     I've had enough.

     I need someone to stand by me
     stand by me, just one time.
     I hope somebody stands by me
     stands by me, just one time
     I don't understand,
     it's slipping through these hands.
     I think by now I know,
     where to let go
     all I know is here I am baby
     won't you stand by me?

     I need someone to stand by me
     stand by me, just one time.
     I hope somebody stands by me
     stands by me, just one time
     I don't understand,
     it's slipping through these hands.
     I think by now I know,
     where to let go
     all I know is here I am baby
     won't you stand by me?

     Stand by Me
