Lay Me Down

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Yes I do, I believeThat one day I will be, where I wasRight there, right next to youAnd it's hard, the days just seem so darkThe moon, the stars, are nothing without youYour touch, your skin, where do I begin?No words can explainThe way I'm missing youThe night, this emptiness, this hole that I'm insideThese tears, they tell their own storyYou told me not to cry when you were goneBut the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strongCan I lay by your sideNext to you, youAnd make sure you're alrightI'll take care of youAnd I don't want to be hereIf I can't be with you tonightI'm reaching out to youCan you hear my call?This hurt that I've been throughI'm missing youMissing you like crazyCan I lay by your sideNext to you, youAnd make sure you're alrightI'll take care of youAnd I don't want to be hereIf I can't be with you tonightLay me down tonightLay me by your sideLay me down tonightLay me by your sideCan I lay by your side?Next to you, you-ou
