Sade - By Your Side

        I heard the most wonderful song today.  I really had to write about it and tell you just how incredible it was to me.  Its a song by the well known Sade (pronounced SHAR-DAY).  Perhaps you remember her? She was extremely popular in the 80's for her Caribbean style music with a great beat and wonderful lyrics.

        She has recently (November, 2000) released a new album after being completely silent for nearly 12 years.  It called Lovers Rock.  Its a compilation of all of the work she has done over the years to bring herself back up to the celebrity status that she so well deserves.  

Without further a due, I will post the lyrics to the song and explain to you just exactly why this song is so incredible to me:

you think I'd leave your side baby
you know me better than that
you think I'd leave you down when you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you want
and if only you could see into me
ha ah ah ah ah ah

oh when you're cold
I'll be there
hold you tight to me

when you're on the outside baby and you can't get in
I will show you you're so much better than you know
when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again
I will find you darling and I will bring you home

and if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
and in no time
you'll be fine

you think I'd leave your side baby
you know me better than that
you think id leave you down when you're down on your knees
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you want
and if only you could see into me
ha ah ah ah ah ah

oh when you're cold
I'll be there
hold you tight to me
when you're low
I'll be there
by your side baby

oh when you're cold
I'll be there
hold you tight to me
oh when you're low
I'll be there
by your side baby

        First of all, to anyone who has been in love and had it be the unrequited type, they will most defiantly relate to this song.  I, myself, am currently (and have been) involved in just such a situation.  I swear, its almost as if she wrote that song for my life.  "'I'll tell you you're right when you want," just says it all.  When you are so in love with someone and they don't feel the same, that's the very thing you might end up doing!

    Kudos to Sade! THE BEST SONG FOR  UNREQUITED LOVE EVER!  

    p.s. I liked it so much, I added it to my web page under my THOUGHTS page!
