by my side

You were there every time Every time that I needed a shoulder And you kept me warm When my world grew darker and colder You gave your strength When mine had gone And I could not go on Where were you when I hurt the most? Where were you when I needed hope? I needed you close You were by my side Where were you? Where were you? You were by my side Where were you? Where were you? You were by my side You pick me up Any time that I start sinking lower And I think to myself What would life be if I didn't know ya? You were the spark That lit the path To carry on Where were you when I hurt the most? And where were you when I needed hope? I needed you close You were by my side Where were you? Where were you? You were by my side Where were you? Where were you? You were by my side (You were by my side, by my side) Yeah, you were by my side So sweet Sweetest love you gave to me And I swear, I swear, oh That I will love you 'til the end You were by my side (You were by my side, by my side) You were by my side (You were by my side, by my side) You were by my side
