Intro- ad lib lead over chorus groove

Verse- You…stood by my side…

Through all the times I’ve tried

All the nights I’ve cried

Verse- You…stood by my side…

You always bet I could

Always said I would...baby,

Chorus - You’re the only one

The only one whoever believed in me

You’re the only one

You’re the only one

The only one who ever put trust in me

You’re the only one

Verse- You…stood by my side…

When I was filled with doubt

Felt so down and out

Verse- And You…stood by my side…

When I just couldn’t win

But now my ship’s come in

Repeat chorus

Bridge- You…were always there

To see me through my despair…my despair

(Oh, Oh, Oh) And girl, I love you so

For the way that you share

All my worries and cares

Musical interlude from double verse groove

Verse- You…stood by my side…

When I just couldn’t win

You made my ship come in…baby

Repeat Chorus 2X (resolves)
