There you lay and here I stand
He knelt down on his knees and took her by the hand
We've seen some good times, been through some bad
But somewhere between the laughter and the tears
We sure had a lot of great years

He said
We didn't need fortune, we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to
When times got tough you pulled me through (oh you pulled me through)
We didn't need a castle made of stone
Just you there as I grow old 
Your heart to hold on to
All I ever needed was you

Remember our first dance and our first kiss
I pictured my life with you to be just like this
You stood by me (ooh, you stood by me)
I stand by you (I stand by you)
We share the laughter, joy, and pain
But it's a moment like this I hope it never ends (ooh, I hope it never ends)

We didn't need fortune, we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to
When times got tough you pulled me through (oh you pulled me through)
We didn't need a castle made of stone
Just you there as I grow old (as I grow old)
Your heart to hold on to
All I ever needed was you

Share my life with you girl yeah, oh yeah (all I ever needed)
I thank you for sharing your life with me
For giving me a reason to believe (reason to believe)
For loving me for who I am

We didn't need fortune, we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to
When times got tough you pulled me through (yeah, you pulled me through)
We didn't need a castle made of stone
Just you there as I grow old
Your heart to hold on to
All I ever needed
All I ever needed was you

You're all I ever needed
