If there's a time when the tears should fill your eyes
And you can't see past the shadows
To the sun on the other side
Don't despair because there always will be someone there
Don't lose faith
Love wont let you lose your way, because you

Youll never stand alone
Ill be standing by
Ill keep you from the cold
Ill hold you when you cry
Ill be there to be strong when you can't find the strength inside and you
Youll always have a home
In these arms of mine
Youll never stand alone
Love is standing by

Oh yes it is, yes

If there's a day when the rain should find your heart
And your cold inside and lonely
And this world has you in the dark
Don't be scared you can just reach for me and I'll be there
Don't lose hope
Love will see you through you know, because you

Hook

Standing by to lift you up of all the the hurt and pain
Standing by to carry you through
All the tears and rain reach from me
(Ill be with you) oh reach for me baby
(Ill see you through) see I'll be the one to hold you
The one to show you that you

Hook 2 times

Love is standing by
