Right Beside Me

Every day that passed
Where I didn't hear your voice, see your face
Felt like an eternity; it definitely didn't go by fast

And tears would fall
Because I felt so lonely without you
I didn't feel like I could do anything at all

I'd feel lonely and depressed all day
Even snapping at my friends
When I forgot to be careful about the things I'd say

But just last night I was thinking about you
Partly smiling, partly sad, wishing you were here
Just like I always do

But that time was different by far
I'd really have to say it was
And it seemed to set the sadness free; open the steel bars

I was thinking about your voice
About that sweet smile you always have on your lips
It showed me that in love, I'd made the right choice

And I was remembering silly things
You'd done while we were talking
Or when I heard your sweet voice in the car when you started to sing

I could feel my heart fluttering inside me
Because I also realized something new
Something that set me free - completely

I realized that no matter how many days we spend apart
Where I can't see your loving face
You're still here, you're with me in my heart

And that when I'm sad, missing you, and want to cry
I don't have to - ever
Because I'm still in love with a great guy

So I know now that I don't have to fear
You still love me
And you're always near

I love you so much that it's hard to remember that a few days apart is okay
But I guess that's all part of being amazed by a boy
And so is thinking about him night and day

You're the most completely amazing person I've ever met
And I want to be with you for eternity
Oh, God, I'm so glad that eternity's not over yet

So I guess all that's left to tell you is that if you ever feel lonely
Because we haven't seen each other in a while
Right beside you is where I'll always be - just like you're always right beside me.
