(feat Lorraine Crosby)

(Stuart Emerson/Stuart Emerson)

From the very first time - you said a word
I knew right then - I liked what I heard
You made good sense - you thought like me
And that's why - it's gotta be

It's just something - that you can't explain
No rhyme or reason - just a spark and a flame
It's whats inside - that we can't control
It's where words fail, but you just know

[Bridge 1:]

And I don't know what it is
And I don't know why
But sometimes when we're talking
I think I can fly
I don't know how it works
If there's a wrong or right
I believe in what I see and feel - here inside

[Chorus:]

Through thick and thin
I'll stand by you
Through everything
I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you

Friends are friends - some near or far
It's only once in awhile - someone touches your heart
And when something's right - and you feel so strong
It's like coming home - yeah, you know you belong

[Bridge 2:]

And I don't know what it is
And I don't know why
Something feels familiar
Deep down inside
I don't know how it works
Or who makes the rules
I only know the way I feel
When I'm here with you

[Chorus]
[Solo Music]
[Repeat Bridge 1]

Through thick or thin, I'll stand by you
Through everything, I'll stand by you

[Chorus:]
Through thick and thin, I'll stand by you
Through everything, I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you
Through all the pain and laughter
Now and ever after
Through thick and thin I'll stand by you
