By Your Side


You brought me through the water
Lead me across the sky
Held me up when I thought I was going to drown
Gave me life when I thought I was going to die

You held my hand even though you weren't there
I felt your presence everywhere
When I hurt inside, you hold me close
You're there when I need you the most

You gave me the sound of peace
And you say you're not made of steel
You don't need to be
For the way you make me feel

You were my best friend
Though my broken heart you couldn't mend
I can't hold my head up high
But I doubt I'm ready to die

I can't go on like this all by myself
I need someone by my side
I need someone like you to love
Someone with whom I can confide
