It's quiet here tonight There's a light burning far away It burns in my heart In the rain, in the dark Well, this girl's gonna have her day I've been this alone for so long I'm beginning to wonder why I stand in one place Different name, different face But no one's gonna see me Break down and cry Won't somebody stand by me Stand by me just one time Won't somebody stand by me Stand by me just one time Lord, I don't understand What's slipping through these hands You'd think by now I'd know when to let go Here I am Won't somebody stand, stand by me
