It's the first in a Trilogy on "I'll Lead You Home" by Michael W. Smith.
THE OTHER SIDE OF ME
If they were to write about
The story of my life
They would have to mention you
With every page they’d write
There’s another side to every story told
If I were the ocean
You would be the shore
And one without the other one
Would be needing something more
We are the shadow and the light
Chorus:
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
I have known the emptiness
Of feeling out of touch
And living life without you here
Would be living half as much
Cause I’ve a need that only you can fill
If love was mathematical
You’d understand the sum
To the heart’s equation
Where one and one makes one
And lonely equals me minus you
Chorus
