By My Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tonight I saw eclipse of your
Smile within my own
Reflection oh you looked
So beautiful
A tear ran down my face
And all my memories erased
Oh why did ya have to leave my side
Oh why do all the rivers flow to the ocean
And why does all the love in the world come from the heart
And why does all the pain I feel come from deep inside
Oh all these questions I could have answered
If you were by my side
Chorus:
Something made me look at you
Something made me do what I had to do, girl
Somethind made me talk to you
Something made me do what I should
I want you by my side
I want you by my side
I want you by my side
Now every day the pain I feel
Slowly fades away
And all the memories of you and me
Are always here to stay
Oh what I'm asking girl
Is one more chance
To let me in your life
Oh girl if you give me one more chance
Then I could be right by your side
Chorus:
Something made me look at you
Something made me do what I had to do, girl
Something made me talk to you
Something made me do what I should
I want you by my side
I want you by my side
I want you by my side
