Don't you get ahead of me
  and I won't leave you behind
  if you get unhappy
  show me a sign
    there's no love like lost love
  no pain like a broken heart
  there's no love like you and me
  and no loss like us apart
    promises promise is
  only a word
  and when softly spoken
  is never heard
    and a heart
  is not a stone
  and is 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
    my care for you
  is from the ground up to the sky
  it's over under up above
  down below and to the side
    no use in pretending
  no use in saving face
  my love is never ending
  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
