There you lay, here I stand
He knelt down on his knees and took her by the hand
We've seen some good times, been through some bad
We didn't need fortune, we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to, when times got tough you pulled me through
We didn't need a castle made of stone, just you there as I grow old
Remember our first dance, our first kiss
I pictured my life with you to be just like this
You stand by me (You stood by me), I stand by you (I stand by you)
We shared the laughter, joy, and the pain
It's moments like this I hope they never change
Share my life with you girl
I thank you for sharing you life with me
And for giving me a reason to believe
For loving me for who I am
We didn't need fortune, we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to, when times got tough you pulled me through
We didn't need a castle made of stone, just you there as I grow old
Your heart to hold on to, all I ever needed was you
All I ever needed was you
