" Forever By Your Side "

" Forever By Your Side "

( Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

(Verse 1 )

We been together for thirty five years

It's been three lonely months since I held you near

Your death has hit me hard I won't even lie

Wish I could kiss you still and lay down at your side

( Verse 2 )

The house feels empty, your laughter’s gone

I sit in silence trying to stay strong

Your picture’s by the bed, I talk to you each night

Hoping somehow you’ll hear me on the other side

(Chorus)

Thirty-five years wasn’t nearly enough

Life without you is just too tough

I reach for your hand, but it’s not there

Only memories and a cold empty chair

( Verse 3 )

The kids all call, they’re missing you too

But they don’t see the pain I’m pushing through

Every sunrise just reminds me again

That I lost my lover, my best friend

(Chorus)

Thirty-five years wasn’t nearly enough

Life without you is just too tough

I reach for your hand, but it’s not there

Only memories and a cold empty chair

(Bridge)

If heaven’s gates would open wide

I’d run to you, no need to hide

Until that day, I’ll hold on tight

To the love we shared every day, every night

(Outro)

We’ve been together for thirty-five years

Now I’m drowning in these tears

One day I’ll see you, where love never dies

And I’ll lay once more, forever by your side
