Lay Down Beside Me

(Don Williams)



I've spent my life looking for you

Finding my way wasn't easy to do

But I knew there was you all the while

And it's been worth every mile.



Chorus:

So lay down beside me

Love me and hide me

Kiss all the hurtin of this world away

Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat

And don't ever wander away.



Mornings and evenings all were the same

There was no music till I heard your name

But I knew when I saw you smile

Now I can rest for awhile.



Chorus:

So lay down beside me

Love me and hide me

Kiss all the hurtin of this world away

Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat

And don't ever wander away.

Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat

And don't ever wander away.......
