When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid, oh I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me
Stand by me

So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you’re in trouble would you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh would you stand now, stand by me

You’re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You’re daddy’s little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.

You’re the brightest of the sunshine
Morning’s first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You’re sugar you’re spice, you’re everything nice,
And you’re daddy’s little girl.

You’re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You’re daddy’s little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.

You’re the brightest of the sunshine
Morning’s first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You’re sugar you’re spice, you’re everything nice,
And you’re daddy’s little girl.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

I remember daddy’s hands folded silently in prayer
and reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare
you could read quite a story in the caluses and lines
years of work and worry had left their mark behind

I remember daddy’s hands how they held my momma tight
and patted my back for something done right
there are things that i’ve forgotten that I loved about the man
but I’ll always remember the love in daddy’s hands

(chorus)
Daddy’s hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done wrong
Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle but I’ve come to understand
there was always love in daddy’s hands

I remember daddy’s hands working til they bled
sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over, I’d live my life again
and never take for granted the love in daddy’s hands

(chorus)
Daddy’s hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done wrong
Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle but I’ve come to understand
there was always love in daddy’s hands
(repeat)

There’s a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind
Can be turned away

An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It’s enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we’ve got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest?
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

(BREAK)

There’s a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn

There’s a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we’ve got this far

And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest?
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

I can’t remember when you weren’t there
When I didn’t care for anyone but you
I swear we’ve been through everything there is
Can’t imagine anything we’ve missed
Can’t imagine anything the two of us can’t do

Through the years, you’ve never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days I’ve found
I’ve found with you … through the years
I’ve never been afraid, I’ve loved the life we’ve made
And I’m so glad I’ve stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I can’t remember what I used to do
Who I trusted, whom I listened to before
I swear you’ve taught me everything I know
Can’t imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, I’ve always been so glad
To be with you … through the years
It’s better every day, you’ve kissed my tears away
As long as it’s okay, I’ll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you … through the years
I never had a doubt, we’d always work things out
I’ve learned what love’s about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, you’ve never let me down
You’ve turned my life around, the sweetest days I’ve found
I’ve found with you … through the years
It’s better everyday, you’ve kissed my tears away
As long as it’s okay, I’ll stay with you
Through the years!

I may not be every mother’s dream for her little girl
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that’s all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say

She’s got her Father’s eyes
Her Father’s eyes
Eyes that find the good in things
When good is not around
Eyes that find the source of help
When help just can’t be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you’re going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father’s eyes
My Father’s eyes
My Father’s eyes
Just like my Father’s eyes

And on that day when we will pay
For all the deeds we have done
Good and bad they’ll all be had
To see by everyone

And when you’re called to stand and tell
Just what you saw in me
More than anything I know
I want your words to be

She had her Father’s eyes
Her Father’s eyes
Eyes that found the good in things
When good was not around
Eyes that found the source of help
When help would not be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you’re going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father’s eyes
My Father’s eyes
My Father’s eyes
Just like my Father’s eyes
My Father’s eyes
My father’s eyes
Just like my Father’s eyes

Although you see the world different than me,
sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see.
And all the new colors and pictures you’ve designed,
oh yes sweet darling so glad you are a child of mine.

Child of mine, child of mine, oh yes sweet darling
so glad you are a child of mine.

You don’t need directions, you know which way to go,
and I don’t want to hold you back I just want to watch you grow.
You’re the one who taught me you don’t have to look behind.
Oh yes sweet darling, so glad you are a child of mine.
Child of mine child of mine, oh yes sweet darling
so glad you are a child of mine.

Nobody’s gonna kill your dreams
or tell you how to live your life.
There’ll always be people who make it hard for a while,
but you’ll change their heads when they see you smile.

The times you were born in may not have been the best,
but you can make the times to come better than the rest.
I know you will be honest if you can’t always be kind,
oh yes sweet darling, so glad you are a child of mine.

Unforgettable, that’s what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
