Standing There

about

This song was written for me and my husband Jeremy for our wedding.

lyrics

Little girl blue in a little white dress
And I borrowed the courage I need to confess
That I'll love you forever, I promised I would
A new life begins and the old's gone for good
The ring on my finger is making a friend
As I'm walking down the aisle,

Singing
You be my hero, and I'll be your lover
We'll travel the world, all we've yet to uncover
And whether or not we're together,
My heart is with you
Oh, you grab the keys and I'll pack up our hearts
and we'll bind them together so we'll never part
and wherever they take us, we'll follow them anywhere
Cause when I get to the end, it's you that I want
Standing There

Up in the morning to see that first smile
Then you're off to become someone new for a while
The honeymoon's over, the daydreams begin
And I find myself wondering if we'll ever win
I wait all alone til you're finally home
and you're walking through that door

Singing
You be my hero, and I'll be your lover
We'll travel the world, all we've yet to uncover
And whether or not we're together,
My heart is with you
Oh, you grab the keys and I'll pack up our hearts
And we'll tie them together so we'll never part,
and wherever they take us, we'll follow them anywhere
Cause when I get to the end, it's you that I want
Standing There

A hundred years goes by too fast
And everyone who thought that we'd never last
Watches year after year as our daydreams come true
and I couldn't imagine a life without you

Until Little girl blue in a hospital gown
The doctors are quiet, the nurse wears a frown
I summon the courage I borrowed back then
I miss you so bad, but I'll see you again
You hold out your hand and you beckon me close
as I walk into the light

Singing
You were my hero and I was your lover
We travelled the world, all there was to uncover
Whether or not we're together, my heart is with you
Oh, you grab the keys and I'll pack up our hearts,
and we'll bind them together so we'll never part
and wherever they take us, we'll follow them anywhere

Hold onto my hand, and step into the light, if you dare

Cause when I get to the end, it's you that I want
When I get to the end, it's you
that I want
Standing There
