I Lay Down & Die
Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees
Only last night when your arms held me tight
You told me you thought our love could last forever, forever
And I was the one that gave you all my love when I thought
That our love could last forever, forever
I lay down and die, the whole world joins in
And everyone cries as teardrops begin
I lay down and die
And when darkness falls, can't see nothin' at all
I lay down and die, the whole world joins in
I lay down and die, the teardrops begin
I lay down and die, and die, and die
I lay down and die, the whole world joins in
I lay down and die and the teardrops begin
When I lay down and die and I lay down and die
You told me you thought our love could last forever, forever
And I was the one that gave you all my love when I thought
That our love could last forever, forever
I lay down and die, the whole world joins in
And everyone cries as teardrops begin
I lay down and die
And when darkness falls, can't see nothin' at all
I lay down and die, the whole world joins in
I lay down and die, the teardrops begin
I lay down and die, and die, and die
I lay down and die, the whole world joins in
I lay down and die and the teardrops begin
When I lay down and die and I lay down and die
