SIDE BY SIDE

Submitted by ub on

Following my divorce because my wife liked drinking more than me but refused to get help, I was struggling to get by after I had turned over everything I owned to my children in care of their mother.

Unfortunately, she hated me and also my mother. So I started listening to this song, while dancing and singing alone. My resolve was to find a woman and a new wife who did not drink, smoke, but was older than my daughters. I tried and failed but finally succeeded. 

I am ok now but this song always brings back memories... Yirong and I wed for better or worse and also for what it’s worth.

The popular 1927 Tin Pan Alley standard "Side by Side" was written by American songwriter and composer Harry M. Woods
The tune, famous for its upbeat and comforting melody, has been covered by numerous artists over the decades, including Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Patsy Cline. 
To get a feel for the original 1927 classic, you can listen to the original recording of the link below on the very bottom:
