Without you standing by my side Love and good fortune passes me by And you were my guiding light It seemed so easy When we said goodbye How different would the world be now If only we had worked it out somehow What kind of fools are you and I There would be stars up in the sky If you were with me now And I know I may go astray But who's to say that we can't change our mind My love burns stronger each day If I'm sure of one thing One love at a time How could we throw our love away When we had so much more than words can say The darkest clouds would fade away To bring the light into my day If you were with me now If loving you is right Then turn back the hands of time I'd do anything to make you mine There'snothing that I wouldn't do I could make you feel my love for you If you were with me now If you were with me now If you were with me now
