Next to You
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.
Next to you
Was the only place I thought I'd ever be
Next to you
I saw all that ever mattered, next to me.
Now, you're gone
My life goes on, I found somebody new
You know he makes me happy
He's the first I ever wanted, next to you.
Chorus:
Next to you
He's the only one who'll ever know me well
Next to you
He's the only love this heart has ever felt
And I'm so close to heaven
When he's holdin' me like only you can do
I know he'll always be the only one for me
Next to you.
Without you
I swore the hurt inside would never show
And how he knew
And what he saw in me, I'll never know
Oh, he is here
And in the years to come we'll see it through
No, he'll never take your place
But there's a space for him in my heart
Next to you.
Chorus:
Next to you
He's the only one who'll ever know me well
Next to you
He's the only love this heart has ever felt
And I'm so close to heaven
When he's holdin' me like only you can do
I know he'll always be the only one for me
Next to you.
Next to you...
