Lyrics

By Your Side (Live 2001)

[Verse 1]

You think I'd leave your side, baby

You know me better than that

You think I’d leave you down when you're down on your knees

I wouldn't do that

I’ll tell you you're right when you want

Ha ah ah ah ah ah

And if only you could see into me

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

[Verse 2]

When you're on the outside, baby, and you can`t get in

I will show you you're so much better than you know

When you're lost and you're alone and you can’t get back again

I will find you, darling, and I will bring you home

[Bridge]

And if you want to cry

I am here to dry your eyes

And in no time

You’ll be fine

[Verse 3]

You think I'd leave your side, baby

You know me better than that

You think I’d leave you down when you're down on your knees

I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you’re right when you want

Ha ah ah ah ah ah

And if only you could see into me

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

(To me, yeah yeah)

Oh, when you're low

I'll be there

By your side

(By your side, yeah yeah)

Oh when you're cold

I'll be there

Hold you tight to me

(To me, yeah yeah)

Oh when you're low

I'll be there

By your side, baby

[Outro]

I will always be by your side, yeah yeah

I will always be by your side

I will always be by your side, yeah yeah

I will always be by your side
