Beside Myself

A Song Lyric

If you knew, what I know
About love, you wouldn't flee
You'd be here, in my arms
And you know that you would see
There's nowhere finer
That you could be
Than by my side.

So I sit here and drink my gin.
And ask myself how'd it begin?
And through the fog, Of Malboro Lights,
I savoured each and every night
We'd watch that black sky
Turn turquoise blue
Me beside you.

Some nights there'd be music;
No sweeter sound.
Some nights we'd play on your playground.
Or nights on your settee,
Eating pesto spaghetti,
But the talk was quite profound.

Now you've been gone
So far away, forever and a day
And you've found, somebody new
Who'd do the things I'd never do
So you're with another.
And I'm back on the shelf
And I'm beside myself.
