Lay Down Sally
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is nothing that is wrong in wanting you to stay here with me
I know you've got somewhere to go
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
Don't you ever leave
Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down Sally, you don't need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long to talk to you
The sun is nearly on the rise, we still got the moon and stars above us
Underneath the velvet skies love is all that matters
Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave
Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down Sally, you don't need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.
Oh I want to walk up to you
And tell you, tell you everything
I want to talk to you, just to talk to you
And poor out all the love that's in my heart
I long to see the morning light colouring your face so dreamily
So don't you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down and stay with me
And don't you ever leave
Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down Sally, you don't need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down Sally, you don't need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you
