Lay Down Beside Me written and recorded by Don Williams 3/4 time I spent my life lookin' for you Findin' my way wasn't easy to do But I knew there was you all the while And its been worth every mile So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat And don't ever wander a way Mornings and evenings all were the same There was no music till I heard year name But I knew when I saw you smile Now I can rest for a while So Lay Down Beside Me love me and hide me Kiss all the hurtin' of this world a way And hold me so close that I feel your heart beat And don't ever wander a way
