Lyrics
You know my heart beats rhythm and my dreams still take me higher
I've travelled round the world but they can't cure my desire
The city looks pretty tonight
Hold on now, let's go till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
I'm a shell shocked lover, under cover, that's my game
I'm your long lost brother, little sister, what's your name?
I feel so alone
I'm stranded and so far from home
I'm calling
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love and stand by me
Stand by love
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Love, stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Give me one good reason why you don't come play with fire
'Cause when the earth starts moving you know I am no liar
The city looks pretty tonight
Oh, hold on now, let's go 'till morning
Get up on love and stand by me
Stand by love and stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love
Stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
Stand by love, stand by me
(Stand by love, stand by me)
(Stand by love, stand by love)
(Stand by love, stand by love)
(Stand by love, stand by me)
