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
