I see the jaws of life
snap shut
I feel the pain of love
and it cuts

There’s no escape;
life’s rough
Hearts are made to break;
it’s tough

We’ve been together so long
I’m with you til the end, and

I’ll stand by you my friend
I’ll stand by you my friend

In your walk
I see the weight of your soul;
in my mind
desire never grows cold

Through the haze
I’m feeling bold;
I fell in love
but I’m growing old

We’ve been together so long
I’m always on your side
When your world comes crashing down       
I’ll uphold your pride

I’ll stand by you my friend
I’ll stand by you my friend
