Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't you get ahead of me
And I won't leave you behind
If you get unhappy
Won't you show me a sign?
There's no love like lost love
And no pain like a broken heart
There's no love like you and me
And no loss like us apart
[Verse 2]
Promises, promise is
Only a word
And when softly spoken
Is never heard
[Verse 3]
And a heart is not a stone
And is fragile, is fragile
When alone
[Verse 4]
By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side?
By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side?
[Verse 5]
Oh, my care for you
Is from the ground up to the sky
It's over, under, up above
Down below and to the side
[Verse 6]
There's no use in pretending
No use in saving face
For my love is never ending
And you are my saving grace
[Verse 7]
By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side?
By my side
By my side
Won't you be by my side?
Won't you be by my side?
Won't you be by my side?
