Standing By

I counted the stars tonight Oh, how they shine so bright I gather them all, so we perfectly align While we gaze from far away And separately watch the day Come rising across the horizon in our minds But now I know my heart is strong Where you belong is by my side So will you hold? 'Cause time is cold But in your soul, I'm standing by I have waited a thousand years But now that tomorrow's here I will shout from the mountain top Our hearts belong near And we've traveled land and sea Our beacon, the love we keep But when we unite This will all have been our dream And now we know, our hearts are strong Where we belong is side by side And so we'll hold each other close And in our souls, we're standing by And so we'll hold each other close And then we'll know we're standing by
