(sheryl crow, todd wolfe)

Its quiet here tonight
Theres a light burnin far away
It burns in my heart
In the rain, in the dark
Well, this girls gonna have her day

Ive been this alone for so long
Im beginning to wonder why
I stand in one place
Different name, different face
But no ones gonna see me
Break down and cry

Wont somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Wont somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time

Lord, I dont understand
Whats slipping through these hands
Youd think by now Id know when to let go
Here I am
Wont somebody stand, stand by me

Im not bending tonight
But Im twisted and turned and broken down
Im starting to know the sound
Of nothing and no one and yet everything

Well, if gods here tonight
Are you here tonight
Maybe you could grab me up
Lord, stand me on my feet
Give me strength and set me free
cause Im not giving in until Ive had enough

Wont somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Wont somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time

Oh, I dont understand
Whats slipping through these hands
Youd think by now Id know when to let go
So here I am
And Im throwing down my one last hope
Here I am
Wont somebody stand, stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me just one time
Wont somebody stand by me just one time
I dont understand
Whats slipping through these hands
Youd think by now Id know when to let go
Here I am
And Im throwing down my one last hope

Wont somebody stand by me just one time
Wont somebody stand by me just one time
I dont understand
Whats slipping through these hands
Youd think by now Id know when to let go
Here I am
