Your Old Standby
(I'm nothing more than just your old standby)
A shoulder to cry on is all you want from me
Someone to share your heartaches when you cry
Someone you can depend on who will always be around
I'm nothing more than just your old standby
If you could call me darling if you could call me dear
If you could learn to love me by and by
I wouldn't mind this waiting for I could stand the pain
I'd be more to you than just your old standby
[ fiddle ]
You wouldn't call me darling and you wouldn't call me dear
I wonder if you'll miss me when I die
You have no consideration you show no sympathy
I'm nothing more than just your old standby
If you could call me darling...
