Next to you was the only place I thought I'd ever be
Next to you I saw all that ever mattered next to me
Now you're gone my life goes on I found somebody new
You know he makes me happy he's the first I ever wanted next to you
Next to you he's the only one who'll ever know me well
Next to you he's the only love this heart has ever felt
And I'm so close to heaven when he's holdin' me like only you can do
I know he'll always be the only one for me next to you
Without you I swore the hurt inside would never show
And how he knew and what he saw in me I'll never know
Oh he is here and in the years to come we'll see it through
No he'll never take your place but there's a space for him in my heart next to you
Next to you he's the only one who'll ever know me well
Next to you he's the only love this heart has ever felt
And I'm so close to heaven when he's holdin' me like only you can do
I know he'll always be the only one for me next to you
Next to you
