LAY DOWN BESIDE ME 
Don Williams

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

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
And there was no music 
till I heard your name
But I knew 
when I saw you smile
Now I can rest 
for awhile

 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
