Stay Here By My Side
(Tune: Make It Go Away, by Harding & Davis, performed by Holly Cole)
(Original tune available in the video at Holly Cole's site)
Stay here by my side, while I get better
Isn't that what friends're supposed to do
Stay here by my side, while I get better
And I will stand and fight beside you
This is not quite what I intended
This is not the gift I meant to give
Can you lend me strength here in my weakness?
Will you stay with me, can you forgive?
'Cause I have failed you, I am crying
I didn't mean to let you down
But you reached out and pulled me to safety
When others would have let me drown
Stay here by my side, 'cause I am weakened
The pain is more than I, alone, can take
If you do this for me, then I will promise
We'll see the Commonwealth restored someday
There are reasons, silver linings
It's a mistake I had to make
'Cause I just need a hand that I can hold onto
When I push myself so far, I break.
Oh I'm so weak, and I feel I've let you down
But tonight you keep me strong
You steer me right when I know I've gone wrong
So stay here by my side, while I get better
Isn't that what friends're supposed to do
Stay here by my side, while I get better
And I will stand and fight beside you
Stay here by my side, while I get better
Isn't that what friends're supposed to do
Stay here by my side, while I get better
And I will stand and fight beside you
