Song: You Stood By Me!

Rating: 5.0


When my world, came crashing down,
As if hurled, from heights unbound,
And loyal friends had all left town,
You stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
I count no loss for it's gold I've found;
You stood by me!

When my life just fell to pieces,
A self-made hell of fits and seizures,
Was I despised by my own species?
You stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
You made me rich, as rich as Croesus;
You stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
With no-one left, not even Jesus;
You stood by me!

You ain't got no agenda.
No pull as glib fence-mender.
You're not a cruel pretender.
But you stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
No-one living could be more tender;
You stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
With your support I won't surrender
You stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
My true and good and stout defender.
You stood by me!

If I'm known for pill and benny,
King of shills for thrill and penny,
Of other skills, I haven't any,
You stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
While some may have been far more canny,
You stood by me!
You stood by me, baby. You stood by me!
For whatever virtues, (and I haven't many) ,
You stood by me!
