Stand Beside Me

Daniel O'Donnell · The Ultimate Collection [2011]

(Tompall Glaser)



Stand beside me, stand beside me

For if I should lose you I justcouldn't get anywhere

Stand beside me, stand beside me

You're the only one who ever made me care



I can't stand to think that I might be alone

Not alone again, not the way it was back then.

Before you walked into my heart

And told me we'd never part so stand beside me

Don't ever let me be alone again.



Stand beside me, stand beside me

For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere

Stand beside me, stand beside me

You're the only one who ever made me care.



--- Instrumental ---



There'll be time when everything goes wrong

But darlingm I won't even care if I know you're stand there

No matter what we have to do together we can see it through

So stand beside me and I'll be standing right there next to you.



Stand beside me, stand beside me

For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere

Stand beside me, stand beside me

You're the only one who ever made me care.



Stand beside me, stand beside me

For if I should lose you I just couldn't get anywhere

Stand beside me, stand beside me

You're the only one who ever made me care.



Yes, you're the only one who ever made me care...
