By My Side Songtext

by Beeb Birtles and Graham Goble 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 fell 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.
