Beside Me
Ephraim Bugumba Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See you've got this thing you do with your eye
It's captivating
It's like you see the best and worst of me
So I stop staring and look the other way

When you smile
Put your hand in mine
I've got this feeling in my heart
It's life giving
Couldn't stop it even I tried
So I give you all of me for this lifetime

When you smile
Put your hand in mine
When you smile
Put your hand in mine




When you smile
Put your hand in mine
