On Your Side

Do you need a place to go? Do you need a place to stay? I remember watching you sing about how much you needed to get away I guess I'm just wondering If you ever made it there 'Cause sometimes when you laugh and joke around I can't see the lines that are meant to form around your eyes I would like to try To maybe make you smile To pick you up when you're down when you're kicked around Oh, how I love your smile How I love your smile I know we're far from home As far as we can be and If those bright lights don't guide you back To where you need to be well you can always stay with me I would like to try To maybe make you smile To pick you up when you're down when you're kicked around Oh, how I love your smile How I love your smile Our baggage piles up Like heaps of unresolved resentment But I will stand by you if you can stand by me And we can throw them all away and start again I guess it's no surprise Why you always close your eyes But through the cracks that you've let me through Like hidden pages, I've discovered you I would like to try To maybe make you smile To pick you up when you're down when you're kicked around Oh, how I love your smile How I love your smile And I would like to say I promise from today I'll be on your side I'll be on your side
