John Mayall：Meaning of Sleeping By Her Side Songmeaning

The song Sleeping By Her Side by John Mayall tells the story of a man who falls for a girl he meets one summer night in Arizona. He wants to tell her how he feels, but never gets the chance. They go to a party in the hills and she becomes intoxicated, so he waits until she falls asleep alone to be with her. They spend the night cradled together and in the morning, she sees him sleeping by her side. The song is about the beauty of a fleeting moment of intimacy and the desire to connect with someone you care for.
