"Standing By" lyrics - PENTATONIX

I have counted the stars tonight
Oh, how they shine so bright
I gather them all so we perfectly align
While we gaze from far away
And separately watch the day
Come rising across the horizon in our minds

But now I know
My heart is strong
Where you belong
Is by my side
So, will you hold?
'Cause time is cold
But in your soul
I'm standing by

I have waited a thousand years
And now that tomorrow's here
I will shout from the mountain top
Our hearts belong near
And we've traveled land and sea
Our beacon the love we keep
But when we unite
This will all have been our dream

But now we know
Our hearts are strong
Where we belong
Is side by side
And so we'll hold
Each other close
And in our souls
We're standing by

And so we'll hold each other close
And then we'll know
We're standing by
