Your Heart Beside Me

Verse 1

So far away                                        

I hear you whisper to me  

what can I do                                     

but pray each day

hoping you’ll be     

back home with me                           

Every night                                         

Is much too long

Without you

here beside me

 

Chorus

Without you

Beside me      

Need you          

Want you here now

I need to see  

Your face

For real           

I need to feel

The beat of    

your heart      

beside me

for just one day

 

Verse 2

The days pass by

Can this go on forever?                     

Crying out loud          

I feel your pain                                   

Calling to me                                      

From far away                                    

Trying hard

to understand

why we can't

be together                      

Holding you forever

 

Chorus

Need you

Want you here now

I need to see              

Your face

For real                          

I need to feel

The beat of    

your heart                    

beside me,                 

for just one day

  

Bridge

All is quiet

around us

waiting for

the songbird

ascending

Flying free

Hearing you

Singing out to me
