At your Side - by The Corrs

from the album In Blue (2000)

Writers: Andrea Corr / Caroline Corr / Jim Corr / Sharon Corr

When the daylight's gone

And you're on your own

And you need a friend

Just to be around

I will comfort you

I will take your hand

And I'll pull you through

I will understand

And you know that…

I'll be at your side

There's no need to worry

Together we'll survive

Through the haste and hurry

I'll be at your side

When you feel like you're alone

Or you've nowhere to turn

I'll be at your side

If life's standing still

And your soul's confused

And you cannot find

What road to choose

If you make mistakes (make mistakes)

You won't let me down (let me down)

I will still believe (still believe)

I won't turn around

And you know that…

I'll be at your side

There's no need to worry

Together we'll survive

Through the haste and hurry

I'll be at your side

If you feel like you're alone (feel like you...)

And you've nowhere to turn

(Side…)

I'll be at your side

(I'll be, I'll be at your side)

I'll be at your side

(I'll be, I'll be at your side)

(I'll be at your side)

I'll be at your side

There's no need to worry

Together we'll survive

Through the haste and hurry

I'll be at your side

If you feel like you're alone (feel like you…)

You've got someone to go (somewhere to go…)

'Cos I'm at your side
