By Your Side (c)

Time after time,
I call your name,Hoping, begging, pleading, that you hear my call.
I raise my hands to heaven, exposing my soul, summoning you to my side.
Come to me,
Stand by my side,
Love me as no other,
Never leave me for another.
Love me forever,
Hold me tight and whisper sweet nothings to me throughout the night.
Keep me safe,
Keep me tight,
Remind me I'm not alone during the night.
When the day breaks and the sun rises high,
Ill stand by your side.
When the sun sets and the night grows cold,
Ill be by your side.
When you're sick and unable to breathe,
Ill give you my breath,
Ill keep you safe,
Ill keep you warm,
All because you're the one I love.
