I'll Stand By You Lyrics
Rod Stewart
Lyrics
Oh, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
But don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through,
cause I've seen the dark side too
And when the night falls on you
And you don't know what to do
Nothing you confess, could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So, if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
But hey, why you got to hide? I get angry too
Well, I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads, but don't know which path to choose
Let me come along, cause even if you're wrong-
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you, I'll stand by you
And when-
when the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
you won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,
baby
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,
baby
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,
baby
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
