STAND BY ME

36 10 9
                                    

I will stand by you,
till the sun goes down,
and the sky goes cold,
till my last breath,
and till my body separates from my soul.

I will stand by you,
and cradle your delicate heart,
in my hands and keep it warm,
in the darkest nights and the coldest days, 
you'll have my shoulder to cry on,
while my fingers will wipe the tears from you face.

I will stand by you,
when the world turns its back,
I will shield you from the thorns,
that life mercilessly throws,
my hand in yours,
we'll fight this battle alone.

So, tell me my friend?,
Can I count on you to hold my hand?,
when the clouds shower us with the heavy rain,
and the light in me is getting weak,
Will you too stand by me?
-stand by me.
