By My Side Lyrics

What happened now that were older
Were not kids playing games anymore
Our silence speaks more than our words
Wish I could put this in reverse
Remember all the times we’ve laughed?
At what point did you become so mad?
I miss the friendship we had
All I want is you by my side
All I want is you by my side
All I want is a simple ‘how are you’
Sorry if I expected more
All I want is to be the team that
I thought that we were before
When we’d ride to school together
When we’d cruise the creeks together
When we’d catch crawdads together
All I want is you by my side
All I want is you by my side
I’d like to sweetly share my lessons
And what I’ve learned, I’ve been there too
Have patience with yourself
If anger wins we all loose
A closed mind is a good thing to loose
Happiness has everything to do with what you choose
Count your blessing not your cash and you’ll be rich too
You’ll be rich too
You’ll be rich too
