Lay Down Beside Me

Lay down beside me, your burdens lifted now.
Hang your worries on a peg by the door.
I'll whisper sweet songs and kiss your tender brow.
Your troubles attend you no more.

        The moonglow and the starshine
        That light up the skies
        Conspire to remind me
        To tell you that you're lovely.

Lay down beside me, and press your body near,
Your troubles find no purchase here.

        The moonglow and the starshine
        That dance in your eyes
        Conspire to remind me
        To tell you that you're lovely.

Lay down beside me, I'll lift the burden from your breast.
You're weary, and so now to rest.
