Lyrics The Overtones – By My Side

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

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.
