Lay down your sorrows,

Let me carry them awhile

Cast off your sadness,

And I'll lend you a smile

You've traveled such a long way

Searchin' for the light

Lay down your sorrows

And lay with me tonight



Come on now

Take off your troubles,

You've been wearing them too long

Sit down beside me,

And I'll find you a song

You're havin' such a hard time

I said it don't seem right

Lay down your sorrows

And lay with me tonight

Come on and stay with me tonight

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

Come on and stay with me tonight

Come on and lay with me tonight



You know it don't seem easy

Feelin' things the way you do

When so many,

They don't feel at all

When the world is full of blindness,

You got to, you got to give yourself a little kindness

You've got to reach out,

Reach out for a hand to hold

You've got to take some rest,

And restore your soul

And lay down your sorrows

Lay down your sorrows

You're havin' such a hard time

I said it don't seem right

Lay down your sorrows

Come on lay down your sorrows

Lay down your sorrows and lay with me

Tonight..........

Come on and lay with me tonight

Oh......

Yeah come on and lay with me

Lay with me, lay with me, lay with me

Come on, come on and lay with me tonight
