By Your Side

You and I have traveled a mile or two down the road
And I know there were times that you carried a lot of the load
We had to fight sometimes to stay alive
And there were those amongst us like to see us take a dive
But you held your head up high
You wouldn't lie!

You had the strength to carry me when I was down
You gave me the guts little girl to get off the ground
And the road might have taken us apart sometimes
And I might have even damaged your heart sometimes
But this love I have is true
I give it to you

Chorus

I hope the sun don't blind you
I hope the world don't grind on you
I hope that nothing unwinds you
I hope that trouble never finds you
I hope that no one undermines you
Treat you mean or be unkind to you
You know I'll always be behind you
I hope trouble never finds you without me

There was a time when I thought I really might loose you
And it chilled my heart and soul baby through and through
But you'll always know that I am your man
We'll walk this world darling hand in hand
This love I have is true I give it to you

Chorus
