By Your Side

This is probably the most mellow song I've written so far. Not to be confused by Ben Harper's "By My Side" though that is one of my favorites. I may still play around with the lyrics a little.



I still remember that night,
When you reached out your hand
You said come with me.
I hesitated and you reached out even farther
You said come with me.
You told me don’t worry, ‘cause I’ll be
By your side,
By your side.

I could have gone anywhere,
Done anything that I wanted
But I’m here with you.
I could have left anytime, escaped with no warning
But I’m here with you.
And that’s where I wanna be:
By your side,
By your side.

Because it doesn’t feel the same way without you,
Well, I’m guessing, ‘cause I haven’t tried.
And my hands would get cold if you took yours away,
So don’t.
Promise you’ll stay,
By my side.

You had a smile on your face
When you reached for my hand
And said stay with me.
You had a ring, got down on one knee
And said stay with me.
Was there ever a doubt I would be
By your side,
By your side.

CHORUS

By your side is where I’ll be
Where there’s you, there’s always me.
By your side.

CHORUS
