Story Behind The Song

I created this arrangement after realizing just how similar Unchained Medley and By Your Side were in terms of the chord progression. I love both these songs so much and saw an opportunity to blend them into a medley.

Lyrics

You think I'd leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that

Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time

Oh when you're cold, I'll be there
Hold you tight, to me

I need your love, I need your love, Godspeed your love to me

When you're on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you, you're so much better than you know
When you're lost...and you're alone...and you can't get back again
I will find you, darling and I will bring you home...

And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you'll be fine

I need your love, I need your love, Godspeed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea, yeah!
Lonely rivers sigh "wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home,
Wait for me.

Oh when you're cold, I'll be there
Hold you tight, to me
Oh when you're low
I'll be there by your side, baby

I'll tell you you're right when you want, I
And if only you could see into me...so slowly...
And time goes by, so slowly
and time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
