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
