These last ten years well they've been filled with joy
A little sorrow too but you know, that's the way it goes
And I don't think that I could, live without you love baby
In fact, I know this to be true
Here I stand with your living gift to me
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
But it's enough to know that, forever you'll be near me
Standin' here right by my side
Standin' here right by my side
If I knew then, what I know now
Would not have taken me so long to figure out, what I got right here and now that
All I need is you, cause no one else will do
And in these next few words I say to you
Here I stand with your living gift to me
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
But it's enough to know that, forever you'll be near me
Standin' here right by my side
Standin' here right by my side
Just as a river flows, your love is never ending
And with the strength I need, strength to carry on
Just like a star so bright, your light will always guide me
And in my darkest night, be there by my side
Here I stand with your living gift to me
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
But it's enough to know that, forever you'll be near me
Standin' here right by my side
Standin' here right by my side
