On my side of the river
I will stay, right over here
I'll speak through songs and poems
Of the worries and the fear
And I'll send you words of happiness
If that would ease your pain
From my side of the river
Until you cross that bridge again
If I only could erase
Just one or two mistakes
Those lousy few mistakes
I know I'd never make again
Well if you try to understand me
And if you ever change your mind
Here on my side of the river
I won't be very hard to find
Over there on your side of the river
At night when you're alone
Do you wander 'neath the stars
With a heart not fully grown
I hope you'll hear me singin'
These songs that never end
Here on my side of the river
You can always expect a friend
