I'll Still Stand By You

from Plans Gang Aft Agley by Jim Patton & Sherry Brokus

about

When I was growing up, all those great songs about Love Forever never told me anything about what it’s really like to be in a longterm relationship. This is about how love can triumph over all.

lyrics

I’ll Still Stand By You

We looked into each other’s eyes
Upon our wedding day
The Reverend Frank Mirenzi
Gave us cards with words to say
But we didn’t need those cards at all
We knew that song by heart
Ben E. King sang “Stand By Me”
And we swore we’d never part

The road we took from Paradise
Was not always straight and true
We did some damage to each other
You hurt me and I hurt you
I know we can’t turn back time
To when our love was new
But if you hold me close tonight
I’ll still stand by you

Twenty years have come and gone
Since our wedding day
Battles lost and battles won
Plans gang aft agley
But you’re still standing by my side
And one thing I know is true
If you hold me close tonight
I’ll still stand by you
I know we can’t turn back time
To when our love was new
But if you hold me close tonight
I’ll still stand by you
