Standing By

I counted the stars tonight
Oh, how they shine so bright
I gather them all, so we perfectly align
While we gaze from far away
And separately watch the day
Come rising across the horizon in our minds
But now I know my heart is strong
Where you belong is by my side
So will you hold? 'Cause time is cold
But in your soul, I'm standing by
I have waited a thousand years
But now that tomorrow's here
I will shout from the mountain top
Our hearts belong near
And we've traveled land and sea
Our beacon, the love we keep
But when we unite
This will all have been our dream
And now we know, our hearts are strong
Where we belong is side by side
And so we'll hold each other close
And in our souls, we're standing by
And so we'll hold each other close
And then we'll know we're standing by
