BESIDE ME

Out of the dark and great despair

that blew my world apart

my love for you grew greater still

and lit up my whole heart

 

Out of the blackest, coldest night

my soul had ever known

I held on to your love and found

new life within it's warmth

 

Out of the ashes of my life

when no one seemed to care

you stood beside me, right or wrong

and helped my cross to bear

 

Out of my life throughout the years

together or apart

there's always you to share it all

living within my heart

 

For you're the part of me that's real

the part of me that's good

the part you saved so long ago

from wasting all its youth

 

For that and many, many things

too numerous to mention

I would risk all to be with you

even the Hell's damnation

 

Some people say that you're no good

that you will surely hurt me

Can they not see the love in you

whenever you embrace me?

 

Why can't they look inside your eyes

and see love shining there?

for thru the years both good and bad

you've shown how much you care

 

That you've hurt others, so have I

we are human and imperfect

We have both tasted fully from Life's wine

not only taste the surface
