Song language: English
To Be By Your Side |
| Across the oceans across the seas |
| Over forests of blackened trees |
| Through valleys so still we dare not breathe |
| To be by your side |
| Over the shifting desert plains |
| Across mountains all in flames |
| Through howling winds and driving rains |
| To be by your side |
| Every mile and every year |
| For everyone a little tear |
| I cannot explain this, dear |
| I will not even try |
| Into the night as the stars collide |
| Across the borders that divide |
| Forests of stone standing petrified |
| To be by your side |
| Every mile and every year |
| For every one a single tear |
| I cannot explain this, dear |
| I will not even try |
| For I know one thing |
| Love comes on a wing |
| For tonight I will be by your side |
| But tomorrow I will fly |
| From the deepest ocean to the highest peak |
| Through the frontiers of your sleep |
| Into the valley where we dare not speak |
| To be by your side |
| Across the endless wilderness |
| Where all the beasts bow down their heads |
| Darling, I will never rest |
| Till I am by your side |
| Every mile and every year |
| Time and distance disappear |
| I cannot explain this, dear, no |
| I will not even try |
| And I know just one thing |
| Love comes on a wing |
| And tonight I will be by your side |
| But tomorrow I will fly away |
| Love rises with the day |
| And tonight I may be by your side |
| But tomorrow I will fly, tomorrow I will fly |
| Tomorrow I will fly |
