Side By Side Lyrics
Earth (Feat. Wind & Fire)
Lyrics
One year ago, love was touch and go
Time made me see, solved the mystery
Taught me that love and time
Will change your mind and make it right
Bring your darkness to the light
My heart sings in the night, my love I bring to you
With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
I can hardly wait, to pick you up at eight
For this rendezvous, candlelight and you
It took me a long time, to see it clear
That love will last, for many years
Dreams do come true so I bring my heart to you, yeah yeah yeah
With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
(Side by side)
We finally found our sunny day
And your love lights up the way
So, I thank you today
For you believed in me, yeah yeah
With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, side by side
Ah we can make it baby
Side by side, ah we can make it baby
Side by side
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
Get down, get down, get down to love tonight
Get down, get down, get down
