You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trapWhen the night has come,
When the night has come and the land is dark,
When the night has come,
When the night has come and the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light,
And the moon is the only light,
And the moon is the only light, we will see,
When the night, has come,
and the land is dark,
and the moon is the only, light we'll see.
No I won't, be afraid,
no I, won't be afraid,
just as long, as you stand,
stand by me.
Chorus
And darling, darling
stand by me, stand by me,
just as long, as you stand,
stand by me.
If the sky, that we look upon.
Should tumble and fall,
all the mountains, crumble, to the sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry,
no I, won't shed a tear,
just as long, as you stand,
stand by me.
Chorus x2
Whenever you're in trouble just stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me
