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........
