Standing in the shadows
Waiting for your love light to shine on me
When you´re lonely and the pain shows
Call me, I´ll be right there to set you free

Walking down a dark road to loneliness
The night has no mercy
I feel a need in me I can´t express

I´ll be standing by
I´ll be standing by
I´ll be standing by

Come to me, when you´re lonely
You need someone to love, let it be me
The way you love me and hold me
Made me realize how sweet love can be

Standing on a backstreet in the falling rain,
Cryin´ for mercy, until you come to me and ease the pain

I´ll be standing by
I´ll be standing by
I´ll be standing by

[Rod - Solo]

I´ll be standing by
I´ll be standing by
I´ll be standing by

I´ll be standing by
There´ll be no need to cry
I´ll be standing by

Come to me, come to me,
´Cause I´ll be standing - I´ll be standing by
