I've spent my life looking for you
Finding 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
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away

Mornings and evenings all were the same
There was no music till I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
And now I can rest for awhile

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
