Walk Forever By My Side
21-years-ago it was raining. I stepped out of a church, a newly married man, and the sun peeked through the clouds.
A couple hours later a piano player introduced the new misses and me to a crowd of friends and family. He sang a song as we danced. The lyrics to the song may as well have been my wedding vows.
These are the lyrics:
Walk forever by my side
Never lose sight of the day
When we will run through all our weakness
On through the fields
Strewn with our broken dreams
Walk forever by my side
Stay forever in the light
Never lose sight of the way
For I alone can’t face the future
I need your strength
To help me make it through
Walk forever by my side
Stay forever in the light
Walk on ‘til morning
All my days are yours
Walk on ‘til morning
All my days are yours
Hope you’ll stay with me tonight
Lift the veil from my eyes
For I am weak and I am foolish
I need your love
To see me through the darkness
Hope you’ll stay with me tonight
Walk on ‘till morning
All my days are yours
Walk on ‘till morning
All my days are yours
Thank you, Mike Peters and The Alarm, for such a beautiful song.
