"Lay Down Beside Me" Lyrics

(Don Williams)

I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you all the while
And it's been worth every mile.

Chorus:
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away.

Mornings and evenings all were the same
There was no music till I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest for awhile.

Chorus:
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away.

--- Instrumental ---

Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away.......
