"Stand By Me" lyrics

I pray for the
Days of the sunshine
And a river full of trout
Got a lot on my mind
But it won't tell my mouth
To give me direction
In which way or when
Which way that wind will carry me
For love and for the sin

I pray for the
Darkness in winter
To warm my soul
I pray for your heart and your mind
To become
One with the rhythm and one with my hand
I said come on a little closer
And we'll set out on this land

Come on get ready
Come on tonight
Come on get ready
Come on tonight

Are you gonna stand by me darlin'
Are you gonna stand closer to me
Are you gonna stand by me darlin'
Are you gonna stand closer to me

I pray for the
Man that will hold you
So damn close
Just cause I'm away
Doesn't mean I shouldn't know
Know your eyes and you know my soul
All he sees is the looks of a woman
And how hard she holds

Come on get ready
Come on tonight
Come on get ready
Come on tonight

Are you gonna stand by me darlin'
Are you gonna stand closer to me
Are you gonna stand by me darlin'
Are you gonna stand closer to me
