[VERSE] What if this old house Is nothing more than bones? Move old furniture out Find a tired and empty home What if this old life Is over at birth? All out anger and striving Costs us more than its worth What if this old heart Wears out more each day It twists and tears apart Every time you turn away? [CHORUS] So, Will you stand beside me? Will you, Will you help to make me whole? As this world divides me? Pulls my, Body from my would Pulls my Body from my soul [VERSE] What if these old words Are a little false to bear? You form them as you curse And then they linger in the air? What if these old thoughts Are hollow as trees? Dying in these drought woods Losing life and memories [CHORUS] So, Will you stand beside me? Will you, Will you help to make me whole? As this world divides me? Pulls my Body from my would Pulls my Body from my soul [VERSE] What if your old smile Draws taught like a rope And the walker in her style Stumbles through rings of smoke? (maybe trips instead of stumble) And she knows some day she’ll fall And it’s a long way down Will you answer to her calling take her hand, help her turn around? [CHORUS 2] Oh, Will you stand beside me? Will you help to life me up? As their gaze divides me And they're all waiting for me to give up Just watching for me to give up Just ready for me to give up

[Verse] Won’t you meet me in New York City, Walk with me down the avenues, Won’t you meet me burrowed in buildings Talk with me through the passing afternoon, [Chorus] Hand in hand by my side, Stay with me until the night, Pours in all around us, And golden windows all light up, Circling round us like the stars As a serenade of honking cars Sing their cacophony song, We’ll go so sweetly ambling on, [Verse] Won’t you meet me in New York City, In the autumn, when the leaves change, Because I’ve been told they're so pretty In Central Park, on a bench by the lake, [Chorus} Hand in hand by my side, Stay with me until the night, Pours in all around us, And golden windows all light up, Circling round us like the stars As a serenade of honking cars Sing their cacophony song, We’ll go so sweetly ambling on, [Verse] Won’t you meet me in New York City, Midway across the Brooklyn Bridge And bring me a heart so heavy That you can’t live without, And we’ll drown it in the Hudson... Hand in hand by my side Stay with me until the night Pours in all around us
