Here By My Side

Someone to love you it'll tear you to pieces
It'll break down your fences, your world falls apart
And the ships they come and go and not one holds you
But I know, that I see you at night
All my dreams are awake
And my asleep never stays

Cause if I had you here by my side
I wouldn't waste any time
I'd hold you real close
I'd hold you forever

When I first saw you, I knew you were mine
Now I can't find you, you live in these lines
For the heart that you once knew now has gone away
Letting go to find a new way
Oh to hold you today
The words that remain

Cause if I had you here by my side
I wouldn't waste any time
I'd hold you real close
I'd hold you forever

I'm farther along now, than I ever was
Can you hear me calling?
To you now my love
For the shifting of the sands now that scares you
Are the tides bringing you home
Oh know this today, my heart does remain

Cause if I had you here by my side
I wouldn't waste any time
I'd hold you real close
I'd hold you forever

Cause if I had you here by my side
I wouldn't waste any time
I'd hold you real close
I'd hold you forever

Cause if I had you here by my side
I wouldn't waste this time
I'd hold you real close
I'd hold you forever
