John Illsley Lay Me Down
Lay me down on the soft cool ground
Lay me down without a sound
If you have to choose
I don't wanna lose
I hold a candle just for you
Flames still strong, flames still true
It's burning bright
With my love and light
Lay me down‚ lay me down
That's all I'm asking
Sometimes you might get lonely
Feel all alone in a crowd
One thing's for sure
I'm gonna be around
Lay me down under whispering trees
Feel the warmth of the summer breeze
I think you understand
I wanna be your man
Lay me down‚ lay me down
That's all I'm asking
Don't go wasting this precious time
We move too fast down the line
If we don't take a chance
We'll never learn to dance
Lay me down‚ lay me down
That's all I'm asking
