By My Side Songtext
von Little River Band

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 angle 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 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
And you're there every night by my side
