BY MY SIDE

Mark Schroettner

You all I wanted
Watch how I care
Why I can't find the words to say?
Life isn't easy
Sometimes love is not fair
We got to try to live each day.
Look into my eyes
See this love glowing inside
From me to you I honestly confide.
Girl
These feelings I can no longer hide
Love
I need you by my side.
