Beside You - Van Morrison

Within a minute I was all packed up

I've got a ticket to another world

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

Suddenly words are hard to speak

When your thoughts are all I see

"Don't ever leave," she said to me

When we both fall asleep, underneath the same sky

To the beats of our hearts at the same time

So close but so far away

(Can you hear me?)

She sleeps alone

My heart wants to come home

I wish I was, I wish I was

Beside you

She lies awake

Trying to find the words to say

I wish I was, I wish I was

Beside you

Another day, and I'm somewhere new

I made a promise that I'll come home soon

Bring me back, bring me back to you

When we both wake up underneath the same sun

Time stops, I wish that I could rewind

So close

but so far away

She sleeps alone

My heart wants to come home

I wish I was, I wish I was

Beside you

She lies awake

Trying to find the words to say

I wish I was, I wish I was

Beside you

The pieces of us both

Under every city light

And the shining as we fade into the night

She sleeps alone

My heart wants to come home

I wish I was, I wish I was

She sleeps alone

My heart wants to come home

I wish I was, I wish I was

Beside you

She lies awake

Trying to find the words to say

I wish I was, I wish I was

Beside you

She lies awake

Beside you

I wish I was, I wish I was

She sleeps alone

My heart wants to come home

I wish I was, I wish I was
