Written by Sheryl Crow and T. Wolf.





I stood at the door

and watched while you drove away

driving my car,

in the rain, in the dark

Well, every dog seems to have her day.



I've been in this, alone so long

and I'm begining to wonder why I stand in one place,

a different name

a different face.

no ones gonna see me cry



I need someone to stand by me

stand by me, just one time.

I hope somebody stands by me

stands by me, just one time

I don't understand,

it's slipping through these hands.

I think by now I know,

where to let go

all I know is here I am baby

won't you stand by me?



I'm not bending tonight

but, I'm twisted and turned

and broken down



But Im starting to know

the sound of something,

no one, and yet,

everything.



Well if God's here tonight

are you here tonight?



Maybe you could grab me up,

stand me on my feet

give me strength

set me free.



Im not giving in till

I've had enough.



I need someone to stand by me

stand by me, just one time.

I hope somebody stands by me

stands by me, just one time

I don't understand,

it's slipping through these hands.

I think by now I know,

where to let go

all I know is here I am baby

won't you stand by me?



I need someone to stand by me

stand by me, just one time.

I hope somebody stands by me

stands by me, just one time

I don't understand,

it's slipping through these hands.

I think by now I know,

where to let go

all I know is here I am baby

won't you stand by me?



Stand by Me
