Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're not here
Don't want another night of waking
Without you near
Can't face another day without you
Don't wanna face it alone
I need to look deep down in your eyes
And know you're home
Gonna throw my arms around you
And hold you tight
Gonna throw my arms around you
We're gonna dance all night
Maybe I was dreaming
You were never leaving
Maybe I've been hoping toolong
Chorus
To have you by my side
By my side
By my side
by my side
I can't stop my heart from aching
With you away
I don't want to be without you
For another day
You told me that our love was over
But I have to hold on
And I believe that my love for you
Can bring you home
Gonna throw my arms around you
And hold you tight
Gonna throw my arms around you
We're gonna dance all night
Maybe I was drearning
You were never leaving
Maybe I've been hoping too long
Chorus
To have you by my side
By my side
By my side
by my side
Oh yeah baby by my side
Since you went away
The pain's been growing
And I've been holding on
But that's ok
'Cos I know in my heart
That you'll be coming home
Yeah, coming home
Coming home to stay
Gonna throw my arms around you
And hold you tight
Gonna throw my arms around you
We're gonna dance all night
Maybe I was drearning
You were never leaving
Maybe I've been hoping too
Chorus
To have you by my side
By my side
By my side
