| Don't you get a | head of me |
| D | C9 | G | |
| and I | won't leave | you be | hind |
| if you get unhappy |
| show me a sign |
| there's no love like lost love |
| no pain like a broken heart |
| there's no love like you and me |
| and no loss like us apart |
| promises promise is |
| only a word |
| and when softly spoken |
| is never heard |
| and a heart |
| is not a stone |
| and is fragile, |
| is fragile when alone |

| won't | you | be by my s | i- | i- | ide |
| by my side |
| by my side |
| won't you be by my side |
| my care for you |
| is from the ground up to the sky |
| it's over under up above |
| down below and to the side |
| no use in pretending |
| no use in saving face |
| my love is never ending |
| you are my saving grace |
| by my side |
| by my side |
| won't you be by my side |
| by my side |
| by my side |
| won't you be by my side |
