Lay Me Down (And Love The World Away)
Kris Kristofferson · Singer/Song Writer: 36 All-Time Greatest Hits! [So [1993]
I'm not mad at nothing baby try to understand
I don't care what happened yesterday
I'm just glad that you're so glad to see my face again
That's all that's important anyway.
And I believe the hardest part is over
Wakin' up without you everyday
Nothin' matters now that we're together
Lay me down and love the world away.
--- Instrumental ---
We've no way of knowing baby how it's gonna end
Maybe we'll be sorry one more time
It just feels so good to me to feel so good again
I'll just lay my chances on the line.
'Cause I believe the hardest part is over
Wakin' up without you everyday
Nothin' matters now that we're together
Lay me down and love the world away.
I believe the hardest part is over
Wakin' up without you everyday
Nothin' matters now that we're together
Lay me down and love the world away...
