I Need You By My Side Lyrics
Michael Kiwanuka
Lyrics
Far away, I`ve been so long away
I get a little lost, hey, but I`ve found my way
See I`ve been, wondering why, I keep losing, hey
How I need you, yes I need you by my side
Holding on, I`m barely holding on
When I hear your voice, oh, I can keep on
See I`ve been, healing this long, all on my on
How I need you, yes I need you by my side
Oh, no there`s times that I`m not sure, but I need it
Uh, you`re forever on my mind, don`t know
Seen me on my own, seen me try
Yes, need you by my side, all the time
Heal the day, yes I can see the day
Oh, see how you made me strong, now I sing my song
See I`ve been, falling away, for a too long way
How I need you, yes I need you by my side
How I need you, yes I need you by my side
(Dank an la für den Text)
