By My Side

When the sun lights up your face
Don't give me time, don't give me space
Just give me something I can taste
Like you right by my side
Like you right by my side

Oh, all my time these days
Just to put a smile on your face
Just to make those bad dreams fade
I give and I take
Yes, now I give and I take

Oh, the worst of times
Never known the best of them
Only known the best of friends
And the means unto my ends
Yes, now the means unto my ends

Hear you sayin' baby, please, just try
Think about you every night
I think about everlasting life
And I watch those days go by
Yes, now I watch those days go by

When the sun lights up your face
Don't give me God, don't give me grace
Just give me something that I can taste
Like you right by my side
Like you right by my side

I'm young in eternity
I'm old in my father's face
I don't really mean what I say
But if I did, then would you stay?
Oh girl, if I did then would you stay?

There's voices singing right with the Lord
I hear he's swinging that holy sword
I heard he knew me before I was born
I've been bought and worn
I've been bought and worn

When the sun lights up your face
Don't give me time, don't give me space
Just give me something that I can taste
Like you right by my side
When I still think about you every night
All my means and all my tries
I think about everlasting life
And I watch those days go by
Yes now I watch those days go by
