[Verse 1]
I got a girl who shines like diamonds
Cuts right through all the dark in my heart
You stand by me, I stand by you
There ain't nothing we can't get through (Hey!)

When I met you I was worse for wear
Torn and afraid but you did not care
You stand you'll stand by me and I'll stand by you
There's nothing in this world that we could not do

[Chorus]
If life is what love gets you through
There ain't nothing we can't do
So be the one I hold onto
Stand by me and I stand by you

[Verse 2]
Now trouble will come and troubles will go
If I keep on dancing and never grow old
So you sing a song and I'll sing it too, yeah
Stand by me and I stand by you

[Chorus]
If life is what love gets you through
There ain't nothing we can't do
So be the one I hold onto, yeah
Stand by me and I stand by you
Stand by me

[Bridge]
Years from now when we look back
Tears of joy, we'll raise our glass
And say these words, still bring true
Stand by me and I stand by you

[Chorus]
If life is what love gets you through
There ain't nothing we can't do
So be the one I hold onto, yeah
Stand by and I stand by you
All we ever have to do
Is stand by me and I stand by you
Oh, right by you
