By Your Side
One last tear as I wave goodbye,
I'll be back, baby don't you cry.
I won't be long,
You gotta be strong.
Keep in mind the first time we met,
I marked down the date so I won't forget.
You're in my head,
Remember those three words I said.
I watch you through my window,
I try to picture the moment we first said hello.
As I leave for the last time,
Don't forget you are mine.
When you feel all alone,
Just dial me up on the phone.
I'm not completely out of sight,
I'll video chat you, tuck you in, and kiss you goodnight.
I'll sleep with your picture next to me,
So in the morning you're the first thing I see.
'Cause baby girl,
I wouldn't change the world.
And just like the beach is always with the ocean tide,
I'll be right here by your side.
I finally land, but I'm losing faith,
I really miss you, my babe.
Dreams help out when they can,
But it doesn't feel right, not touching your hand.
I'll be home soon,
Every night your face is in the moon.
Your perfume is still on my jacket,
I love the scent, I refuse to wash it.
It's a memory,
Soon enough, home is where I'll be.
A few more days and I'll be back,
I've written you so many letters, I lost track.
And girl, I hope you know,
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you and never let go.
When you feel all alone,
Just dial me up on the phone.
I'm not completely out of sight,
I'll video chat you, tuck you in, and kiss you goodnight.
I'll sleep with your picture next to me,
So in the morning you're the first thing I see.
'Cause baby girl,
I wouldn't change the world.
And just like the beach is always with the ocean tide,
I'll be right here by your side.
I'm on my way,
With so much to say.
I can't wait to feel your head on my shoulder,
It feels like I've been gone forever.
Never again, will we be apart,
I'm staying home to watch over your heart.
God, it feels so dang good,
To touch your hair inside that hood.
Oh, how I missed you,
Baby, don't worry, I'm permanently back, it's true.
No longer do you have to hide,
Because I'm right here by your side...
When you feel all alone,
Just dial me up on the phone. (Let's talk)
I'm not completely out of sight,
I'll video chat you, tuck you in, and kiss you goodnight. (Kiss you)
I'll sleep with your picture next to me,
So in the morning you're the first thing I see. (Gotta see you)
'Cause baby girl,
I wouldn't change the world. (No, oh)
And just like the beach is always with the ocean tide,
I'll be right here by your side. (By your side)
One more smile as I wave hello,
You come running with such a glow.
Into my chest,
You are the best...
