By Your Side
The Abyssinians;Sade Lyrics

You think I'd leave your side, baby
You believe that I would abandon and desert you, my dear

You know me better than that
You are aware of my true character and nature, my dear

Think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees
Do you assume I would turn my back on you when you're in your lowest moments, my dear?

I wouldn't do that
You are mistaken as I would never carry out such a cruel act, my dear

I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
I will not hesitate to admit when you're in the right or wrong, my dear

And if only you could see into me
If only you could understand the depth of my feelings for you, my dear

Oh, when you're cold
When you feel lonely and unloved, my dear

I'll be there, hold you tight to me
I will be present to give you warmth and comfort, my dear

When you're on my outside, baby, and you can't get in
When you feel like an outsider and cannot find your place beside me, my dear

I will show you, you're so much better than you know
I will prove to you that you are worthy of my love and adoration, my dear

When you're lost
When you're feeling directionless and hopeless, my dear

You're alone and you can't get back again
When you feel isolated and without support, my dear

I'll find you, darling, and I'll bring you home
I will search for you and bring you back to a place of comfort and belonging, my dear

And if you want to cry
If you feel like letting your emotions out through tears, my dear

I am here to dry your eyes
I will be here to comfort and console you when you cry, my dear

And in no time, you'll be fine
Soon after, you will feel better and more at ease, my dear

Oh, when you're low
When you're feeling down and dejected, my dear

I'll be there by your side, baby
I will always be there to support and lift you up, my dear
