Stand By Me

Even if I tower over you
and appear strong,
stand by me.

And when we’re seeing eye to eye
and when we’re face to smiling face,
stand by me.

And if we’re toe to toe,
slugging it out,
don’t go.

Stand by me.

And when I shrink
and am a tiny thing
sitting helplessly on the bottom step
waiting for the ambulance to arrive,
stand by me.

Rest me in the palm of your hand
and offer reassurance.

And when you know I can stand
no more,
stand by me.

Comfort me with love.
That’s what love is for.
