By My Side

I don't know why at night I just can't sleep

I don't know why sometimes I get tired of the beat

And I don't often see the light as it shines through

Don't often get the chance to say I do

And even so when things ain't right

I understand and want you by my side

Every night

Out of the blue I gave you my shelter

Into the blue you came like an angel to me

And I so often feel the need of your laughter

You turned out to be the one I was after

And even though you break my heart

I understand and want you by my side

Every night

By my side

The first time I felt that I was falling for you

I only thought how could it be

You'd never want me too

I played the games that lovers play

I knew your every charm

And hoped that time would bring the day

I'd have you in my arms

And I was deep in the mist you came to my rescue

Off and adrift alone I was waiting for you

Now I see all my troubled past (ain't got no troubles)

Disappearing (they're disappearing)

I've got the chance at last for a hearing

And even when we're far apart

Within my heart you're there right by my side

Ain't it right

Every night

By my side
