[Intro]
Every word that you say is a gift and I pray
That you'll talk with your mind and soul
I've waited so long
I knew that they were wrong
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
[Violin Solo]
[Verse]
The gift of your voice is a sound I rejoice
And your touch when you hold my hand
As you walk by my side, I'm bursting with pride
Oh Sonni, I'll be your guide
[Verse]
If I am unwell, I know you can tell
Squeeze me tight, hold me close next to you
No secrets or lies, always truthful and kind
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
[Violin Solo]
[Verse]
"One day, you will change the world", I say
You do it every day
When you call, I stand proud
I will never let you down
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
[Verse]
Always talk, always play
Ask questions every day
Try to trust, always listen to your heart
Learn to love, sing out loud
Never hide amongst the crowd
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
[Verse]
I wish that I could see you every day
I wish that I could be with you
You're always with me
Always with me
Always in my mind
[Violin Solo]
[Verse]
As I tuck you up in bed
Those 5 words that you said
"Daddy, I love you so"
I promise today, I will never go away
Oh Sonni, I'm here to stay
[Verse]
I swear to you son, I never will be done
My truths I share with you
You're my boy, you're my pride
My love I'll never hide
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
Oh Sonni!
[Outro]
Oh Sonni, I'm by your side
