I wanted to come back I wanted to stay But all the winds around me blew me different ways I wanted to be there I wanted to say Good morning and goodnight to the streets and the marketplace The flowers have bloomed But i am still by your side Still by your side The dirt has grown green But i am still by your side Still by your side I wanted to walk by I wanted to laugh I wanted to dance with you in the night as the moonlight swept past The flowers have bloomed But i am still by your side Still by your side The dirt has grown green But i am still by your side Still by your side I wish i could give you all That you gave to me But there is a beauty in thinking back on all the fonder things I knew i held you once Maybe it was a dream The day couldn't keep me by your side i still remain The flowers have bloomed But i am still by your side Still by your side The dirt has grown green But i am still by your side Still by your side
