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.
Promises, promises is only a word,
And when softly spoken is never heard,
And a heart is not a stone,
And is fragile, is fragile when alone.
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.
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.
There's no use in pretending, no use in saving face.
For my love is never ending and you are my saving grace.
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.
