By Your Side

Looking out over this city at dawn
There’s a light somebody’s mother left on
We’ve been waiting here all night to find out
If someone’s gonna put it out
The hours have slipped away once again
I can’t recall the places we’ve been
Well I guess that this is some sort of sign
I was born to be by your side
It’s the light upon your face in the morning in your imperfection
And I was born to be here right here by your side
There’s a cloud that’s overtop of the moon
There’s mess to clean in our living room
Just an ordinary Saturday night
I was born to be by your side
Chorus
When we’re older we’ll have lines on our face
Don’t you cover them or hide them away
Every one will mark a laugh that we had
Or a tear that fell when times were bad
Chorus
It’s the light upon your face
It’s the light upon your face
It’s the light I can’t embrace
Cause it keeps on movin' on
And it all keeps slipping by
Won’t you stay right by my side
We will watch the world go by
From the corner of our eyes
