stay by my side

I met you in the dark that night,
When hope itself was running dry.
You smiled and set my world alight,
Brought colour to my faded sky.
We danced until the moon had sunk,
And laughed till time just disappeared.
And you said quietly: "I'm drunk..."
And in the shadows, I just held you near.


You looked at me over your shoulder,
And then the whole world stood still.
I moved in close, a little bolder,
Afraid to tell you what I feel.


Stay here by my side
When the nights keep growing colder,
When the first soft snow
Settles in our hair.
Stay here by my side
As we're both growing older.
When our steps grow slow,
Let me be the one who's there.

Stay here by my side,
Don't ever let go of my hand.
Let the years turn the tide —
Together we'll stand.
I want to wake each day
And know my dream came true,
And to quietly say:
"I'm lucky I found you."


I know your every shade of blue,
Your every sorrow, great or small.
I know just what to say to you
When you're tired of it all.
I'll bring you coffee at first light
And kiss you on your sleepy brow.
Your laughter makes the years take flight —
Who cares how old we are right now?


The children leave in morning light,
We smile and wave them on their way.
I thank the stars for that first night
That brought us where we are today.


Stay here by my side
When the nights keep growing colder,
When the first soft snow
Settles in our hair.
Stay here by my side
As we're both growing older.
When our steps grow slow,
Let me be the one who's there.

Stay here by my side,
Don't ever let go of my hand.
Let the years turn the tide —
Together we'll stand.
I want to wake each day
And know my dream came true,
And to quietly say:
"I'm lucky I found you."


If our dreams should fade,
If the world should turn cold,
I won't be afraid —
It's your hand I will hold.
I'll find my way
No matter where you are.
Through night and day,
Your love will be my star.


Stay here by my side,
Till the last light is fading.
Till our hair turns grey,
Till the journey's end.
Stay here by my side,
My heart needs no persuading.
I'd choose you each day,
My love and my friend.

Stay here by my side...

Just say the words:
"I'll never leave."
Till our hair turns grey...
To the end...
