I'm dancing in the shadows of life And death is all around me tonight I miss you making love to me right Beside myself I'm holding you tight Someone is waiting for me to rise And dive into the ocean I cried And I cried and I cried my baby to sleep Beside myself my soul to keep Right beside you I see Right beside you I stay Right beside you I'll be Right beside you always We're dancing in the shade of the summer sun The drums are playing The change to come was yesterday In the heat beside myself I need to keep Right beside you I feel Right beside you I am Right beside you I kneel Right beside you I stand Right beside you I see Right beside you I stay Right beside you I'll be Right beside you always Driving into town with the top down Sun sinking low into the water I can feel your speed One hand on the wheel one hand on my knee I can tell you what I want you can do what you need Darling nights are getting cooler in the city so close There's a place we can do it somewhere right along the coast We'll arrive on time just a little bit late It's not a matter of style just a lesson in taste I remember when I was your child You made me up to be your lover Now I'm standing right beside you Other people still exsist I don't pretend to love them less but darling When you drive this way I lose my breath Right beside you I feel Right beside you I am Right beside you I kneel Right beside you I stand Right beside you I see Right beside you I stay Right beside you I'll be Always Right beside you I feel Right beside you I am Right beside you I kneel Right beside you I stand Right beside you I see Right beside you I stay Right beside you I'll be Right beside you always
