LAY ME DOWN (AND LOVE THE WORLD AWAY)
(Kris Kristofferson)


Kris Kristoffersn - 1979





I'm not mad at nothin', baby, try to understand
I don't care what happened yesterday
I'm just glad that you're so glad to see my face again
That's all that's important anyway

And I believe the hardest part is over
Wakin' up without you ev'ry day
Nothin' matters now that we're together
Lay me down and love the world away

(Instrumental Break)

We've no way o' knowin', baby, how it's gonna end
Maybe we'll be sorry one more time
It just feels so good to me to feel so good again
I'll just lay my chances on the line

'Cause I believe the hardest part is over
Wakin' up without you ev'ry day
Nothin' matters now that we're together
Lay me down and love the world away

I believe the hardest part is over
Lay me down and love the world away
Nothin' matters now that we're together
Lay me down and love the world away
