don't you get ahead of me

and i won't leave you behind

if you get unhappy

show me a sign



there's no love like lost love

no pain like a broken heart

there's no love like you and me

and no loss like us apart



promises, promise 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



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

my love is never ending

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
