Tampa Red — I Need You By My Side

Although it seems that we must part You will forever be in my heart Though I shall never think of Why we had to start, we had to start And though you say, now That we are through My love remains for only you Because I love you You know I need you by my side You know I love you And I need you by my side Before you leave me Come shake my hand I hope someday you will understand Home much I need you How much I loved you from the start Right from the start And if you ever need a friend I shared the oath until the end Because I love you Yes, and I need you by my side
