Stand For You
(Verse 1) (Pre Chorus)
Snow is falling on Christmas Eve We all have our wars to fight
Reindeer being readied Let me stand with you
Sleigh bells on the breeze, Deep in the dark of night
But not everybody’s tucked up in bed I know what you would do
Or has a roof on which to land a sled
Woah, Christmas Eve (Chorus)
You stood for me
(Verse 2) So I will stand for you
Snow keeps falling on Christmas Eve If you can’t stand any more
Riley’s old blanket I will carry you
Guards against the freeze, We’ll carry you
The medals that he earned were sold long ago Support each other
A dog-tag round his neck glinting in the snow It’s what we gotta do
Woah, in the snow
