Paul van Dyk – “The Other Side” Lyrics:
When this broken through
I will comfort you
When I wake my tongue is tied
Daylight brings the great divide
Weeping like the rain
Whispering your name
Long to be reunified
Believe the sun will rise
When I reach the light
I will see you on the other side
I’m sure the sun will shine
When I reach the light
I will see you on the other side
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
Speeding City lights
Leave me weak tonight
Oh I miss your warmth inside
Stars came out to shine
Across the waterline
I can feel you on the other side
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes and I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes and I reach the light
See you on the other side
When I close my eyes
