When You're Next To Me

When I’m standing next to you,
There’s a song to sing;
I know everything’s feeling right.
When I’m standing next to you,
Steeple bells ring.
Only good things do I see
When you’re next to me.
When I hold your hand in mine,
Different world wakes:
A new morning breaks with the sun.
When I hold your hand in mine,
Children’s dreams take flight
Through a star-lit night.
That’s what I see
When you’re next to me.
This love for you I’m feeling
Has a power that is healing:
It can mend the darkest hour with glorious light.
When I taste your lips so sweet,
I see beggars dine
And the sands of time up and stop.
When I taste your lips so sweet,
Black and white bend.
Every dog lands at your feet
When you’re next to me.
This love for you I’m feeling
Has a power that is healing:
It can mend the darkest hour with glorious light.
When I’m lying next to you,
I feel moonbeams burn;
I see rainbows turn into gold.
When I’m lying next to you,
I hear angels play;
I see sweeter days;
I see rivers wind
Through the end of time;
I see hatred fall
From the highest hill;
I see God’s good grace shining in your eyes.
That’s what I see
When you’re next to me.
