about

Written in Key West, Florida in September 2009... this version recorded live in the studio in Key West, Florida in April 2016

lyrics

Next to me my darling you know I really felt complete
But now I sit in this coffee shop staring at the empty seat
Next to me, oh next to me
How I wish you were still next to me

Riding on our bicycles through the endless aimless days
You filled my soul with laughter with that smile upon your face
Next to me, oh next to me
How I remember you next to me

So who do you hold at night in your little cottage room?
When the rain beats on the roof and the storms block out the moon
Next to me, oh next to me
We were lying in your bed and you were next to me

Next to me is where you ought to be
But you prefer to walk your path alone
Where will you go now? Where will you call home?
Remember me my love, I was yours and yours alone

The highway was a beacon a tractor beam calling me
I wanted to run from the chaos to a place where we were free
Next to me, oh next to me
I look and your no longer next to me

We walked the hills of Asheville carnival Old Orchard Beach
The stars were all against us and our dreams were out of reach
Next to me, oh next to me
Through hard times you were still next to me

I watched the British Open and how gallantly he fought
But the old man missed the final shot and I knew that we were lost
Next to me, oh next to me
Lady Luck is no longer next to me

Your heart has changed it's locked up now I guess I lost the key
But that's alright it's only life go on and be free
Next to me, oh next to me
I gotta thank ya for the time you spent next to me

There's order to the universe even when it's bad to worse
Some things just ain't meant to be and no one gets off easily
Next to me, oh next to me
In the land of dreams you are still next to me

The best of times they never last it always moves to end
So take good care of your memories you can't live them again
Next to me, oh next to me
Pictures of you when you were next to me
