Lyrics

Lay down your sorrows,

Encouraging someone to let go of their sorrows.

Let me carry them awhile

Offering support by carrying their sorrows for a while.

Cast off your sadness,

Urging to discard feelings of sadness or grief.

And I'll lend you a smile

Promising to bring happiness or joy.

You've traveled such a long way

Acknowledging the long journey of seeking enlightenment or happiness.

Searchin' for the light

Continuing the search for positivity or illumination.

Lay down your sorrows

Reiterating the need to release sorrows.

And lay with me tonight

Inviting to spend the night together after letting go of sorrows.


Come on now

Encouraging action to remove burdensome troubles.

Take off your troubles,

Implying the prolonged endurance of troubles.

You've been wearing them too long

Offering companionship and comfort through music.

Sit down beside me,

Recognizing someone's struggles.

And I'll find you a song

Noting the difficulty faced by the individual.

You're havin' such a hard time

Commenting on the challenging circumstances.

I said it don't seem right

Expressing the inappropriateness of the situation.

Lay down your sorrows

Repeating the advice to let go of sorrows.

And lay with me tonight

Reiterating the invitation to spend the night together.

Come on and stay with me tonight

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

Urging to spend the night together.

Come on and stay with me tonight

Come on and lay with me tonight

Emphasizing the invitation to spend the night together.


You know it don't seem easy

Highlighting the difficulty of experiencing emotions intensely.

Feelin' things the way you do

Noting the challenging nature of feeling deeply.

When so many,

Observing the lack of empathy in many individuals.

They don't feel at all

Highlighting the emotional disconnect in the world.

When the world is full of blindness,

Commenting on the prevalence of ignorance.

You got to, you got to give yourself a little kindness

Encouraging self-compassion amidst a callous world.

You've got to reach out,

Advising to seek support or comfort.

Reach out for a hand to hold

Encouraging reaching out for assistance.

You've got to take some rest,

Advocating for taking a break to rejuvenate.

And restore your soul

Encouraging self-care for inner replenishment.

And lay down your sorrows

Repeating the advice to let go of sorrows.

Lay down your sorrows

You're havin' such a hard time

Reiterating the observation of someone's tough situation.

I said it don't seem right

Reiterating the inappropriateness of the circumstance.

Lay down your sorrows

Repeating the advice to let go of sorrows.

Come on lay down your sorrows

Encouraging again to release sorrows.

Lay down your sorrows and lay with me

Reiterating the invitation to spend the night together after letting go of sorrows.

Tonight..........

Come on and lay with me tonight

Repeating the invitation to spend the night together.

Oh......

Yeah come on and lay with me

Encouraging to spend the night together.

Lay with me, lay with me, lay with me

Repeating the encouragement to spend the night together.

Come on, come on and lay with me tonight........

Final insistence on spending the night together.
