To Be by Your Side

Across the oceans, across the seas

Over forests of blackened trees

Through valleys so still we dare not breathe

To be by your side

Over the shifting desert plains

Across mountains all in flames

Through howling winds and drowning rains

To be by your side

Every mile and every year

For every one a little tear

I cannot explain this, dear

I will not even try

Into the night as the stars collide

Across the borders that divide

Forests of stones standing petrified

To be by your side

Every mile and every year

For every one a single tear

I cannot explain this, dear

I will not even try

For I know one thing

Love comes on a wing

For tonight I will be by your side

But tomorrow I will fly

From the deepest ocean to the highest peak

Through the frontiers of your sleep

Into the valley where we dare not speak

To be by your side

Across the endless wilderness

Where all the beasts bow down their heads

Darling I will never rest

'Till I am by your side

Every mile and every year

Time and distance disappear

I cannot explain this, dear

No, I will not even try

And I know just one thing

Love comes on a wing

And tonight I will be by your side

But tomorrow I will fly away

Love rises with the day

And tonight I may be by your side

But tomorrow I will fly

Tomorrow I will fly

Tomorrow I will fly

Tomorrow I will fly
