As I lay me down And I say goodnight The town is now asleep Now my day is done And autumn leaves me here Without many words to say Standing next to you Standing next to you Standing, standing next to you Now I have been told That my heart is strong And it leads me on my way So I leave it there And before we know Our souls are left behind Standing next to you Standing next to you Standing, standing next to you If we should carry The weight of many We make a columbine Standing next to you Standing next to you Standing, standing next to you Standing next to you Standing next to you Standing, standing next to you
