Standing by

Muziek: G. Verdi

Tekst: Tom Parker

(Nederlandse versie: Ik zal er zijn)

 

If you feel alone just look around you,

and call my name, you’ll see me there.

I won’t let you down now that I’ve found you,

let love surround you, you’ll find it ev’ry-where.

 

Refrein:    

When you need someone to hold you,

I’ll be waiting, I’m standing by.

Through the good and through the bad times,

I’ll be with you, I’m standing by.

If you wake in the still-ness of the night.

I’ll be there and I’ll make you feel all right.

When you need a friend to hold you,

I’ll be waiting, I’m standing by.

 

When the world sits heavy on your shoulder,

and troubled thoughts, weigh down your mind.

There’s a friend you know you can depend on,

yes I’ll be there, always standing by your side.

 

Refrein:    

When you need someone to hold you,

I’ll be waiting, I’m standing by

Through the good and through the bad times,

I’ll be with you, I’m standing by.

 

Intermezzo...

 

When you need someone to hold you,

I’ll be waiting, I’m standing by

Through the good and through the bad times,

I’ll be with you, I’m standing by.

I’ll be with you, I’m standing by, I’m standing by.
