Little River Band - By My Side lyrics

I don't know why at night I just can't sleep I don't know why sometimes I get tired of the beat And I don't often see the light as it shines through Don't often get the chance to say I do And even so when things ain't right I understand and want you by my side Every night Out of the blue I gave you my shelter Into the blue you came like an angel to me And I so often feel the need of your laughter You turned out to be the one I was after And even though you break my heart I understand and want you by my side Every night By my side The first time I felt that I was falling for you I only thought how could it be You'd never want me too I played the games that lovers play I knew your every charm And hoped that time would bring the day I'd have you in my arms And I was deep in the mist you came to my rescue Off and adrift alone I was waiting for you Now I see all my troubled past (ain't got no troubles) Disappearing (they're disappearing) I've got the chance at last for a hearing And even when we're far apart Within my heart you're there right by my side Ain't it right Every night By my side
