   I stood at the door
   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
