If I could ask one thing of God
And have Him grant my wish.
It would be to stand beside you
Always and forever.
Not as a lover,
but as a friend.I know I could never fill your heart
Or give you the joy she brings you.
I'd simply wish to stand beside you
Always and forever.
Not as a lover,
but as a friend.
You would never have to see me
Or know that I was there.
I'd always love to stand beside you
Always and forever.
Not as a lover,
but as a friend.
I'd give my very soul,
To spend my life inside your shadow.
Standing there beside you
Always and forever.
Not as a lover,
but as a friend.
And though the glitter fades,
My loyalty will live.
I'll be there to stand beside you,
Always and forever.
Not as a lover,
but as a friend.
And if or when you place your bride
Into the arms of God.
I will be there to stand beside you,
Always and forever.
Not as a lover,
but as a friend.
And when your hour comes,
I will fly with you to heaven.
For I swore to stand beside you,
Always and forever.
Not as a lover, my hero,
but as a friend.
This is dedicated to two men who I have the honor of calling my heros thier names are AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson.
