Lay Me Down
SAM SMITH · In The Lonely Hour 2014 · Track 10 of 16
Written by Elvin Smith, Jimmy Napes, 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
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
[this verse only at album version:] 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
