There you lay, and here I stand. He knelt down on his knees an' took her by the hand. We've seen some good times, Been through some bad, But somewhere between the laughter and the tears, We sure had a lot of great years. He said, We didn't need fortune, 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. Remember our first dance and our first kiss. I pictured my life with you to be just like this. You stood by me. (Ooh, you stood by me) I stand by you. (I stand by you) We share the laughter, joy, and pain, But it's a moment like this I hope it never ends. (Ooh, it should never end.) We didn't need fortune, 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, (Oh, you pulled me through.) We didn't need a castle made of stone, (No, no.) Just you there, as I grow old, (So old.) Your heart to hold on to: All I ever needed was you. Instrumental break. (Share my life with you, girl.) (Oh Yeah,) (Oh, all I ever needed.) I thank you for sharing your life with me, For giving me a reason to believe. (Reasons to believe.) For loving me for who I am. We didn't need fortune, 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, (Yeah, you pulled me through.) We didn't need a castle made of stone, (No, no.) Just you there, as I grow old, Your heart to hold on to: All I ever needed, All I ever needed was you. (Yeah.)
