The song ‘Just Be Near Me’, is a very sad love song that I created recently. This video has images included and adds to the impact of the song.
Unfortunately, a lot of people go through a relationship breakup. In most cases, some-one is deeply hurt by this.
I have some close friends that met each other young and they’re having their 50th wedding anniversary this year. I say to them, they won the lottery in life, in not having to suffer any heartbreak in love at any stage in their lives, and are together today. Not all of us are so fortunate.
When some-one you love deeply, leaves you, it is possibly the hardest thing to get over. I think this song expresses that… with trying to hold onto some-one and saying ‘Just be near me’.
I did hesitate in uploading this very sad love song, but what the heck, the song is very powerful, and I think will be very memorable, as the singer really nailed the song and what I was trying to convey.
The lyrics to the song follow below…
Oh my love
When I said I loved you
And always stay in my heart
You went away
And now that your gone
I am all alone
Please come back to me
And once again
Hold me in your arms
Now listen Honey
I will always love you
And I can’t bare being
Apart from you
You don’t have to be true
You don’t have to love me
Just be near me
You don’t have to be true
You don’t have to love me
Just be near me
You don’t have to be true
You don’t have to love me
Just be near me
Now you need to understand
Honey
I won’t cause you any trouble
Just come back home to me
I miss you
I miss you
So much
You don’t have to be true
You don’t have to love me
Just be near me
Life is not the same
Without you honey
You were the light
Now everthing is black
You don’t have to be true
You don’t have to love me
Just be near me
You don’t have to be true
You don’t have to love me
Just be near me
