G                                  C 
There you lay, and here I stand.  

He knelt down on his knees an' took her by the hand.  

We've seen some good times,  

Been through some bad,  
D 
But somewhere between the laughter and the tears,  
C 
We sure had a lot of great years.  
G                                        D   
He said, We didn't need fortune, didn't need fame  
                                         Em 
Just a little shelter from the rain;  

Your hand to hold on to.  
C 
When times got tough you pulled me through.  
G                                 D 
We didn't need a castle made of stone,  
                                  Em 
Just you there, as I grow old, 

Your heart to hold on to,  
C 
All I ever needed was you.  
 
 
Remember our first dance and our first kiss.  
I pictured my life with you to be just like this.  
You stood by me. (Ooh, you stood by me)  
I stand by you. (I stand by you)  
We share the laughter, joy, and pain,  
But it's a moment like this I hope it never ends. (Ooh, it should never end.)  
 
We didn't need fortune, didn't need fame:  
Just a little shelter from the rain;  
Your hand to hold on to.  
When times got tough you pulled me through, (Oh, you pulled me through.)  
We didn't need a castle made of stone, (No, no.)  
Just you there, as I grow old, (So old.)  
Your heart to hold on to:  
All I ever needed was you.  
 
Instrumental break.  
(Share my life with you, girl.)  
(Oh Yeah,)  
(Oh, all I ever needed.)  
 
I thank you for sharing your life with me,  
For giving me a reason to believe. (Reasons to believe.)  
For loving me for who I am.  
 
We didn't need fortune, didn't need fame:  
Just a little shelter from the rain;  
Your hand to hold on to.  
When times got tough you pulled me through, (Yeah, you pulled me through.)  
We didn't need a castle made of stone, (No, no.)  
Just you there, as I grow old,  
Your heart to hold on to:  
All I ever needed,  
All I ever needed was you. (Yeah.)
