Too many times I didn't try to hold you 
I never kept the promises I told you 
Now it's time I give in I know 
To the words that I should have said long ago 

Lady lay down beside me 
Wrap your love around me 
I need you to stay 
Don't turn away from me now 
Lady lay down 

You've been alone 
I guess I've known about it 
You gave me love 
And learned to live without it 
Now that you've turned to go 
Let me beg you to stay 
The best way I know 

Lady lay down beside me 
Wrap your love around me 
I need you to stay 
Don't turn away from me now 
Lady lay down
