Lay down your sorrows,

Let me carry them awhile

Cast off your sadness,

And I'll lend you a smile

You've traveled such a long way

Searchin' for the light

Lay down your sorrows

And lay with me tonight

Come on now

Take off your troubles,

You've been wearing them too long

Sit down beside me,

And I'll find you a song

You're havin' such a hard time

I said it don't seem right

Lay down your sorrows

And lay with me tonight

Come on and stay with me tonight

Come on, come on, come on, come on now

Come on and stay with me tonight

Come on and lay with me tonight
