You can count on me to stand aside
when you need to be alone.
You can count on me to stand aside
when you have to do what’s done.
You can count on me to stand aside
when you’re taking care of self.
You can count on me to stand aside
when you don’t need my help.
You can count on me to stand aside
when you think that is best.
You can count me to stand aside,
but be with you for each test.
You can count on me to stand aside
and look on you with pride.
You can count on me to stand aside
yet stand always at your side.
