Don't you get ahead of me, and I won't leave you behind If you get unhappy, won't you show me a sign There's no love like a lost love, and no pain like a broken heart There's no love like you and me, and no loss like us apart Promises, promises, only a word And when softly spoken, it's never heard And a heart is not a stone And it's fragile, it's fragile when alone By my side, by my side Won't you be by my side By my side, by my side Won't you be by my side By my side, by my side All my care for you is from the ground up to the sky It's over, under, up above, down below, and to the side There's no use in pretending, no use in saving face For my love is never ending, and you are my saving grace By my side, by my side Won't you be by my side By my side, by my side Won't you be by my side Won't you be by my side Won't you be by my side
