Standing in the shadows   Waiting for your love light to shine on me   When you're lonely and the pain shows   Call me, I'll be right there to set you free      Walking down a dark road to loneliness   The night has no mercy   I feel a need in me I can't express      I'll be standing by   I'll be standing by   I'll be standing by      Come to me, when you're lonely   You need someone to love, let it be me   The way you love me and hold me   Made me realize how sweet love can be      Standing on a backstreet   In the falling rain cryin' for mercy   Until you come to me and ease the pain      I'll be standing by   I'll be standing by   I'll be standing by      I'll be standing by   I'll be standing by   I'll be standing by      I'll be standing by   There'll be no need to cry   I'll be standing by      Come to me, come to me   'Cause I'll be standing   I'll be standing by
