By Your Side
Zhane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be by your side whenever you need me
I'll be by your side whenever you call my name

I saw you there, you were standing all alone
But you didn't know that I'd become wither so soon to take you home

I'll be by your side whenever you need me
I'll be by your side whenever you call my name

You thought I walked out, you thought that I walked out of your life
It isn't easy to forget someone like you, it's gonna be alright

Dry your eyes, baby, don't you cry, open wide
Open your heart to me, let me see what is in your mind
Now, baby, try, you know what you mean to me





I'll be by your side whenever you need me
I'll be by your side whenever you call my name

In the second verse, the singer talks about seeing someone standing alone and realizing that they could be with that person. They imply that the person they are addressing is someone they have feelings for, and it seems that the singer is comforting that person by saying that they will be by their side whenever they need them.

They want to know what's going on in their mind and emphasizes how much the person means to them. The singer wants to reassure the person that they are going through a tough time that everything will be alright.

Takes me back to my youth in Washington D.C. My U.S. Army days. So young and foolish. I met this woman that melted my heart and she was good to me and I left her after ny tour of duty was over. I have been with my many women since and never found her equal. Love you always Ismatu.
