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 reached into my soul
So our love wouldn't fade
You did 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 made
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 reached into my soul
So our love wouldn't fade
You did 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, yes, 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
