As I walk myself on a crowded street
People moving everywhere still I'm feeling lonely
Smile by a passerby
Feel the breeze of a dragonfly
I thought I heard you whisper something quiet
Or maybe it was just me
You left such a deep hole
I'll move on someday I suppose

I don't know if I can take one step
I don't know if I can find my way
I need you here beside me here beside me
I don't know if you can hear me sing
I don't know much of anything
But I need you here beside me
Here beside me everyday

When I walk these streets never seem too far from me
I can see your sparkling eyes
Is that you coming to me?
Some hurts you can never heal from some tears will never dry
And every prayer returning in silence
Still I'm gonna try (oh you...)
I've got to believe I'll find you here still leading me

I don't know if I can take one step
I don't know if I can find my way
I need you here beside me here beside me
I don't know if you can hear me sing
I don't know much of anything
But I need you here beside me
Here beside me everyday

Some nights I can hear you call me
But I can't remember what you say
I write it down to remind myself
But the past wasn't meant to stay
When I think about you almost every time
I can hear you say:
"Babe, it's ok, and you're gonna be just fine"

I don't know if I can take one step
I don't know if I can find my way
I need you here beside me here beside me
I don't know if you can hear me sing
I don't know much of anything
But I need you here beside me
Here beside me everyday
