Lay Me Down (feat. John Legend)
Sam Smith · Other Songs - Sam Smith
Yes, I do, I believe
That one day I will be
Where I was right there
Right next to you
And it's hard
The days just seems so dark
The moon, the stars
Are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin
Where do I begin?
No words can explain
The way I'm missing you
Deny this emptiness
This hole that I'm inside
These tears
They tell their own story
Told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
John Legend:
I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
Together:
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
John Legend:
Lay me down tonight
Sam Smith:
Lay me by your side
John Legend:
Lay me down tonight
Sam Smith:
Lay me by your side
Together:
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you
You
