Beside You I've rodeo'd across this fine land of oursbeauty has found my eyes both near and farI've seen moons rise over midnight plateauswhite as the blaze on a black stallion's nosebut when I see your auburn curlstoo wild for bows or braidswell, all the beauty in this worldjust begins to fade...beside you, beside youLady O Lady of minebeside youI've heard April wrens chirp from chimneytopsstood where four strong winds make whistlestopsheard morning whale songs off the Frisco coastand lovebirds haunt the night like June and Johnny's ghostsbut when you whisper tender wordsso only I can hearwell, all the beauty that I've heardslowly disappears...beside you, beside youLady O Lady of minebeside youso come with me now and let's ridewhere starlight likes to playcos all I long to do tonightis dream while I lay...beside you, beside youLady O Lady of minebeside you(c)2007 Robert George
