The words of this song always bring tears to my eyes. When I was a young child my dad and I used to sit together on a Sunday evening listening to the radio. We listened to all the old songs and sang along with those we knew. My dad used to sing "I'll walk beside" and I can still feel his calm and loving presence, sitting in the dusk on a winter's evening, waiting for my Mum to come in and tell us tea was ready. The words have a beautiful meaning and happy memories for me of a wonderful loving childhood.
