By My Side

[Verse 1:]
You were there every time
Every time that I needed a shoulder
And you kept me warm
When my world grew darker and colder.

You gave your strength
When mine had gone
And I could not go on.

[Chorus:]
Where were you when
I hurt the most?
Where were you when
I needed hope?
I needed you close
You were by my side.

Where were you?
Where were you?
You were by my side.

Where were you?
Where were you?
You were by my side.

[Verse 2:]
You pick me up
Any time that I start sinking lower
And I think to myself
What would life be if I didn’t know ya.

You were the spark
That lit the path
To carry on.

[Chorus:]
Where were you when
I hurt the most?
Where were you when
I needed hope?
I needed you close
You were by my side.

Where were you?
Where were you?
You were by my side.

Where were you?
Where were you?
You were by my side.

[Bridge:]
So sweet
Sweet is the love you gave to me
And I swear, I swear oh
That I will love you ‘til the end.

[Outro:]
You were by my side
You were by my side.
