stand by you

Your suitcase sits beside the door

Maps spread out on the bedroom floor

Your eyes meet mine, a distant glance

You whisper that you need to dance

The words we shared last night still sting

As I try to understand this thing

They say that space is what you need

But my love won't fade, I still believe

I will stand by you, though the road ahead is calling you

I will stand by you when you need to find your truth

Even when you have to leave our world behind

I will stand by you "til you find yourself

I'll stand by you

The autumn leaves fall from the trees

As I read your postcards you sent me

Your favorite chair sits empty now

As I wonder when and how

You'll find the peace you're searching for

On distant shores and foreign doors

They say the time apart reveals

What the heart truly knows and feels

I will stand by you, though you're gone, our bond still pulls me through

I will stand by you in the silence of an empty room

Even though you had to find yourself out there

I will stand by you loving from afar

I'll stand by you

The photographs that line our wall

Show the questions behind it all

The restless soul I've always known

The seeds of doubt that you have sown

Though miles may part us for a while

I'll be here waiting with a smile

I will stand by you as I learn to live with missing you

I will stand by you, by respecting what you need to do

Even though you had to leave to find your way

I still stand by you every night and day

Stand by you

I still stand by you
