By Your Side Lyrics & Chords By Clive Nolan & Oliver Wakeman

(Watson: The next morning we faced Laura Lyons with two facts. Firstly, our knowledge of her planned meeting with Sir Charles the night he died. Secondly, that her beloved Stapleton was already married - to Beryl. )

Look into my eyes and then you will see
The only thing in life that meant anything to me
Was the chance to start all over and make my life anew
To share all my remaining days with one I held so true

If he would take me gladly - I would never stray
If he would take me gladly - I would always stay
By his side.
With my pride

I have suffered in oh so many ways,
I can not believe the words you say
I thought I'd love him dearly until the end of time
And now I shall reveal to you the terror of his crime

If he had taken me gladly - I would had never strayed
If he had taken me gladly - I would have always stayed
By his side.
With my pride

(Watson: With this heartbreaking discovery, Laura told all.
And so the plan was set: Sir Henry would dine that night at Merripit House and return on foot, alone across the moor. On no account was he to leave the path, for that would spell certain death. Holmes and I would lie in wait with Doctor Mortimer, who had begun, and would end this journey with us. )
