Stand ByThe Righteous Brothers

Songwriter: Bill Medley

Producer: Bill Medley

There she goes
Walking with him
Wearing the smile she wore
When she used to be mine

But I know that she'll
Come to my side
The minute he
Tells her goodbye

But my heart won't let me forget
That I'm just a standby
For when he's gone
Even though I know it's wrong

I can pretend
That her love is mine
I can pretend she is there
All the time

But it breaks my heart
To know that I'm
Not her man
I'm just a standby

I know I'm a fool
But I don't care
My heart grows so cold when she's gone
But so warm when she's there

I'd rather be a fool
And share her love
Than to be a man
Who's not involved at all

So I will pretend
That her love is mine
I can pretend she is there
All the time

But it breaks my heart
To know that I'm
Not her man
I'm just a standby

The Righteous Brothers

The Righteous Brothers were a musical duo of Bill Medley and Bobby Hatfield, hailing from Orange County, California. They were originally members of The Paramours but began performing as a duo in 1962 after breaking off from the group.

Their first hit track was “You’ve Lost That Lovin' Feelin” but they released many other hits during their career.

The duo was active through the 1960s and 70s, and after a long split, they reunited in 1981 and performed up until Hatfield’s death in 2003. In 2016, Medley reformed the group with Bucky Heard.
