By My Side

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 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 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 --- By My Side - Ben Harper
