[Verse 1]
You wake me in the night to your tears falling down
Come; let me dry them for you
I wish I could tell a story, chase away all those ghosts
You got inside of you
A story of heroes who fight on at any cost
Of a kingdom of love to be won or lost
We'll fight here together 'til victory's won
Come take my hand 'til morning comes
Just close your eyes

[Chorus]
I'll stand by you always
Always, always
I'll stand by you always
Always, always

[Verse 2]
I know that here, in the dark
Tomorrow can seem so very far away
Here, the ghosts and the goblins can rise from your dreams
To steal your heart away
Together, we'll chase those thieves that won't leave you alone
Out from under the bed, out from over our home
And when the light comes, we'll laugh, my love
At the things that the night had us so frightened of
And until then

[Chorus]
I'll stand by you always
Always, always
I'll stand by you always
Always, always

[Bridge]
Now, I know it can feel like you're slipping away
At night, you'll get lost in that deep dark place
We'll let the night come and do what it may
Together, we'll find the courage, we'll find faith
Until you awake

[Chorus]
I'll stand by you always
Always, always
I'll stand by you always
Always, always

[Post-Chorus]
I'll stand by you always
I'll stand by you always

[Chorus]
I'll stand by you always
Always, always
I'll stand by you always
Always, always

[Outro]
I'll stand by you always
Always, always
I'll stand by you always
Always, always
