I'll Be Standing By Lyrics - Foghat

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 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Chorus: x2] 

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
