Alison Krauss & John Waite - Lay Down Beside Me

Good Late morning Friday my RP Brothers and Sisters!

It is late morning here in the Greater Boston Area and I would like to share with you another Late-Morning Music Interlude with a song by Alison Krauss and John Waite entitled "Lay Down Beside Me"...

Background:
"Lay Down Beside Me" is a song written by American country music artist Don Williams. It was first recorded by Kenny Rogers on his 1977 self-titled album.

Williams later released his own version which was released as the second single from his 1979 album, Expressions. The single reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 1979.

Alison Krauss Lyrics

"Lay Down Beside Me" (feat. John Waite)

[John Waite:]
I've spent my life
Lookin for you
Findin' my way
Wasn't easy to do
But 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
And kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away

[Alison Krauss:]
Mornings and evenings
All were the same
There was no music
Til I heard your name
I knew when I saw you smile
And now I can rest for a while

[Together:]
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 heart beat
And don't ever wander away

And hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away

[she hums]
he sings
Love me and hide me

[both hum]
he sings
'Til I feel your heart beat

[both hum]
