You'll Never Stand Alone
Whitney Houston · My Love Is Your Love
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 won't let you lose your way
Chorus:
Because you, you'll never stand alone
I'll be standing by
I'll keep you from the cold
I'll hold you when you cry
I'll be there to be strong
When you can't find the strength inside
And you, you'll always have a home
In these arms of mine
You'll never stand alone
Love is standing by
Verse 2:
If there's a day when the rain should find your heart
And you're cold and tired 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
Chorus
Bridge:
Standing by to lift you above all the hurt and pain
Standing by to carry you through all the tears and rain
Reach for me, (I'll be with you)
Reach for me (I'll see you through)
I'll be the one to hold you
The one to show you that
Chorus:
(Repeat to fade)
You'll Never Stand Alone
