Just By Your Side

Just By Your Side

Just let me walk along with you

I'll  be here by your side

just lead me where you want to go

We'll cast a shadow wide

I have no need to dominate

To lead or lag behind

Just by your side will be just fine

I hope you will not mind

We'll talk of any thing you choose

I'll hear all that you say

I'll tell you what I think and why

we'll laugh along the way

I want to hear and love your voice

I'll make you feel at ease

for that is one thing I do well

no need to ask me "please?"

no matter what the weather man

predicts about the day

the sun will brightly shine on me

in smiles you cast my way

and everything shall special seem

the skies gleam special blue

the meadowlarks will sing their song

epecially for you

perhaps you'll find I'm not half-bad

and place your hand in mine

perhaps a kiss wouldn't seem amiss

and taste like sweetest wine

I have no need to overwhelm

or go too fast or slow

I only want to learn of you

what you want me to know

we won't undress...I will not press

for things that might not be

until your heart beats flutter- fast

and you offer all to me

your soul incites my own to crave

the lovely things we share

our hearts beat strong to silent song

see beauty everywhere

but none eclipse your comeliness

you've beauty all your own

you must have been bonnie babe

so fine now fully grown

and if you deem me worthy (please!)

I'll hold you close to me

enfold you in my big strong arms

as if 'twas endlessly

and if our fates and stars align

and moons come into phase

we might find we're what we both need

and these our halcyon days

and by the time our time is done

then, surely we will know

if our hearts race and pound apace

when I get up to go

if we should kiss a long "goodbye"

hate that we have to part

I'll open wide...let you inside

and let you have my heart
