Lyrics
Too many times I didn't try to hold you
Failed attempts to keep you close.
I never kept the promises I told you
Unfulfilled promises made in the past.
Now it's time I give in, I know
Acknowledging the need to surrender.
To the words that I should have said long ago
Regret for not expressing necessary words earlier.
Lady, lay down beside me
Requesting the lady to lie down next to him.
Wrap your love around me
Desiring the embrace of her love.
I need you to stay
Expressing the need for her presence.
Don't turn away from me now
Pleading not to turn away in this crucial moment.
Lady, lay down
Reiteration of the request for the lady to lay down.
You've been alone
Acknowledging her past loneliness.
I guess I've known about it
Awareness of her solitude over time.
You gave me love
Recognition of the love she gave.
And learned to live without it
Realization that she learned to live without love.
Now that you've turned to go
Acceptance of her decision to leave.
Let me beg you to stay
Pleading for her to reconsider and stay.
The best way I know
Expressing love in the best way possible.
Lady, lay down beside me
Repetition of the desire for her to lie down beside him.
Wrap your love around me
Reiterating the need for her loving embrace.
I need you to stay
Reemphasizing the importance of her presence.
Don't turn away from me now
Repetition of the plea not to turn away.
Lady, lay down
Reiteration of the request for the lady to lay down.
