Stand By Your Side Lyrics

Samantha Mumba

Ive been moving far away from you
Baby
I dont wanna see another day
Without you
How can I even think about anyone else
When youre the only one on my mind
Im gonna stand by your side
Ill never leave you behind
Im gonna stay through the night
Cos I know
Ill never be alone
Ive been missing you too many nights
Baby
All alone without you by my side
How can I even think about anyone else
When youre the only one on my mind
Nobody else
Im gonna stand by your side
Ill never leave you behind
Im gonna stay through the night
Cos I know
Ill never be alone
Im gonna stand by your side
Ill never leave you behind
Im gonna stay through the night through the night
Cos I know yes I know
Ill never be alone
Ill never be alone
I just wanted for you to stay
That I love you anyway
I just wanted you to stay
Now I know
Ill never be alone
Im gonna stand by your side
Ill never leave you behind
Im gonna stay through the night
Cos I know cos I know
Ill never be alone
Im gonna stand by your side to stay
Ill never leave you behind that I love you anyway
Im gonna stay through the night
Cos I know cos I know
Ill never be alone
