Lay Me Down (stripped) Songtext
von 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 seem 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


I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call? (Who′s to say you won't hear me?)
This hurt that I′ve been through
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
Yeah, oh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You 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

Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side

Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, you
