John Kay Walk Beside Me Lyrics

Walk Beside Me Lyrics

Words and music by John Kay















I recall when they would say



No one lives for just one day



Don't save dreams that can't be sold



Don't chase rainbows, just their gold



Tried in their way, tried it mine



I won my race before my time



But golden trophies, fancy toys



Don't compare to childhood joys







Walk beside me darlin' come listen to the rain



And watch the rollin' water to ease your pain again



When night comes down to free us, and sorrow's finally gone



I long to hear your secret dreams and rock you in my arms







There lived a nation proud and free



It tried to show us harmony



But we stood much too close to see



To read the hand of destiny



I know a child who's only seen



A sunrise on the silver screen



she never watched the birds in flight



Or saw the dew by morning light







Walk beside me darlin', come hear the howlin' wind



He'll be a true companion, he'll listen like a friend



When night comes down to free us, your sorrow finally gone



I long to hear your secret dreams and rock in my arms
