I'll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothin' you confess, could make me love you less

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So, if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You're feelin' all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Yeah

Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

I guess since I posted on the other blog today, this is the fitting song for the post on this blog today. I picked the Glee version (video) since that is the one Jake likes and well we seem to have this song as a connection between us. It came on in the car one day and we both listened to the words and said, hmm, that sounds like us. I will stand by him, I will protect him, I will never judge him, I will do everything in my power to keep him safe! I will listen and guide him, I will let him cry and vent and tell me what's wrong. One thing that I love is that he already feels like he doesn't have to lie or hide from me. He can talk to me, ask me or tell me anything. I hope that stays with him as he gets older! I still have a few years before I have to let him go out into the world on his own but when he does, no matter how far away he goes, I know he will take this with him. He will always know where home is and where I am.

Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”
