Next to You

Next to you was the only place I thought I'd ever be

Next to you I saw all that ever mattered next to me

Now you're gone my life goes on I found somebody new

You know he makes me happy he's the first I ever wanted next to you

Next to you he's the only one who'll ever know me well

Next to you he's the only love this heart has ever felt

And I'm so close to heaven when he's holdin' me like only you can do

I know he'll always be the only one for me next to you

Without you I swore the hurt inside would never show

And how he knew and what he saw in me I'll never know

Oh he is here and in the years to come we'll see it through

No he'll never take your place but there's a space for him in my heart next to you

Next to you he's the only one who'll ever know me well

Next to you he's the only love this heart has ever felt

And I'm so close to heaven when he's holdin' me like only you can do

I know he'll always be the only one for me next to you

Next to you
