Catergory: Instant Star
Story Title: Stand Beside Me
As she stood there, in the pouring rain, sreaming after the car that peeled down the road, she couldn't understand why he would leave like that. He just left. No explanation, no "I'll call you", he just left.
He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder He said he had to find himself out on the road
But she made a promise to herself, that she wouldn't let his leaving break her, or her music.
I guess when love goes wrong You've gotta learn to be strong
She got a new job, working at the local soup kitchen. It didn't pay, but it kept her busy, and she wasn't doing it for the money anyway: she was doing it to forget him. She moved around a lot, once she turned 18. She finally settled down in Memphis, away from any unpleasant memories.
So I worked two jobs and I moved three times I ended up south of Memphis workin' down in Riverside
She realized that even though she hadn't really had any luck with men, at least she had her morals, and dreams for a better life.
I may not be so lucky in love
But the one thing I'm sure of
I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
And I'll give all the love in my heart
Stand beside me
Be true don't tell lies to me
I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
I want a man that who stands beside me
She was just going to the supermarket, to get more food, she never expected to see him there. Memphis was supposed to be away from anything and everything that reminded her of him, of what could have been. Of them.
I didn't expect to see him one hot July morning
His eyes had haunted her for so long. That deep blue that reflected the ocean perfectly. She wanted to forget. Needed to forget. But she couldn't, and now there they were, looking right at her.
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
He told her that he had missed her, and that he was sorry.
He said, I've missed you for so long. Oh baby, what can I do
She told him what she needed: someone who would be there for her, hold her when she needed to be held, love her when she needed to be loved.
I said, I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
And I'll give all the love in my heart
He told her that he was that man, but she didn't believe him. She told him that he would have to prove it to her, over time, because she had lost her faith. He whispered that he would be the one to build that trust back up, and she nodded and fell into his arms.
It's hard to tell him no when I want him so bad
But I've got to be true to my hear This time
I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
I want a man who stands beside me
I want a man
Who stands beside me
Stand beside me
Stand beside me
