By My Side - The Overtones, Mark Franks, Darren Everest

Like a candle burning through the night

Like the ocean washes to the shore

Like the dawn casts its morning light

You’ll be by my side.

Like a sunrise

Lighting up a new sky

What I’d give to spend another day with you.

Promise I’ll try

To f‌ind the good in goodbye

Even though I don’t know how to make it through.

Every time I close my eyes

You’re by my side

You’re by my side.

Even though we’ve said goodnight

You’re by my side

You’ll stay right by my side.

When I walk familiar streets and I start to smile

When the April f‌lowers start to bloom

When I hear the joyful sound of a laughing child

You’ll be by my side.

Like a sunrise

Lighting up a new sky

What I’d give to spend another day with you.

Promise I’ll try

To f‌ind the good in goodbye

Even though I don’t know how to make it through.

Every time I close my eyes

You’re by my side

You’re by my side.

Even though we’ve said goodnight

You’re by my side

You’ll stay right by my side.

So close and yet so far

Together though apart

You are in my heart

Every time I close my eyes

You’re by my side

You’re by my side.

Even though we’ve said goodnight

You’re by my side

You’re by my side.

Every time I close my eyes

You’re by my side

You’re by my side.

Even though we’ve said goodnight

You’re by my side

You’ll stay right by my side.
