"Next to Me"
September 25th, 1995


Holding your hand,
kissing your cheek.
My eyes begin to clearly see.

Feeling your warmth,
holding you close.
I know I need you next to me.

My love for you can't be measured,
through days of endless pleasure...

By my side, my love.
Throughout eternity, my love.
I watch you smile, so innocent and free.
It's clear to me now,
my life can never be complete,
without you next to me.

Lying by your side,
feeling your heart.
I dream of what we soon shall be...

I'll stand there waiting for you,
watching your beauty shine through.
And before God, you'll be standing next to me.

My love for you can't be measured,
through nights of endless pleasure...

By my side, my love.
Throughout eternity, my love.
I'll watch you sleep, so quiet and free.
It's clear to me now,
my life will always be complete,
with your love next to me.
