Lyrics

By Your Side Music and Lyrics by David Nigel Chalmers

The other day, the future seemed so far away
Tomorrow just another day; It crept into our lives so fast.
And we watched and saw all our dreams come true
And happiness would see us through
Our bright, shiny life would always last.

And we could run away, to love another day
Our luck would always last somehow
But time has slipped away, we have no cards to play
And we must live up to our vow

Chorus
And we will find a way to make it through the day
And I promise I will stay by your side
And you will be with me, for all eternity
And I will always be by your side

Nobody keeps the score. This game’s for evermore
And one last burst of sorrow
It fills our hearts the journey never ends never ends

Let’s not be sad, be thankful for the time we had
In retrospect, we should be glad
Let’s close our eyes and fade away.
Our friends believed we’d be together when we leave
Just look at all that we’ve achieved
There’s no reason we should stay


And we could run away, to love another day
Our luck would always last somehow
But time has slipped away, we have no cards to play
And we must live up to our vow

Chorus
And we will find a way to make it through the day
And I promise I will stay by your side
And you will be with me, for all eternity
And I will always be by your side by your side by your side
