Sometimes at night when it gets so quiet

I think back to when we started

So many years ago our love was so new

We swore you and I to forever be true

And I reach into my soul

So our love wouldn't fade

You feel the same

Cause we thought we had it made

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

No one could compare to the love we'd be

And whatever life would roll our way

You were by my side

And we knew in each other's hearts

We would always confide

So I reach into my soul

So our love wouldn't fade

You feel the same

Cause we thought we had it made

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

And just here we stand so many years later

With our love as strong as yesterday

We belong together

I'm so lucky I found you

I know we will always be

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover

Stand by your lover

Have the faith you need in you

You gotta stand by your lover
