By Your Side

You and I have traveled a mile or two down the road

And I know there were times that you carried a lot of the load

We had to fight sometimes to stay alive

And there were those amongst us like to see us take a dive

But you held your head up high

You wouldn't lie!

You had the strength to carry me when I was down

You gave me the guts little girl to get off the ground

And the road might have taken us apart sometimes

And I might have even damaged your heart sometimes

But this love I have is true

I give it to you



[Chorus]

I hope the sun don't blind you

I hope the world don't grind on you

I hope that nothing unwinds you

I hope that trouble never finds you

I hope that no one undermines you



Treat you mean or be unkind to you

You know I'll always be behind you

I hope trouble never finds you without me

There was a time when I thought I really might loose you

And it chilled my heart and soul baby through and through

But you'll always know that I am your man

We'll walk this world darling hand in hand

This love I have is true I give it to you



[Chorus]
