By My Side (with John Randall)

There's so much breakin' up
 Folks who won't fall in love
 Put up shelves, guard themselves, and build walls
 And it makes me cry sometimes
 'Cause people live lonely lives
 They don't want to try
 They don't want to live at all
 I'm not gonna be afraid
 To give up my heart that way
 'Cause I need you
 I need you by my side
 And I'm not gonna say I'm strong
 Out here in this world alone
 'Cause I need you
 I need you by my side
 And when you find someone
 Someone you really love
 It makes life easier to bear
 But some folks live on their own
 Shut themselves in at home
 They never find out what love's all about
 'Cause they're scared
 But I'm not gonna be afraid
 To give up my heart that way
 'Cause I need you
 I need you by my side
 And I'm not gonna say I'm strong
 Out here in this world alone
 'Cause I need you
 I need you by my side
 'Cause I need you
 I need you by my side
