Lay Down Sally - Delbert McClinton

There is nothing that is wrong in wanting you to stay here with me

I know you’ve got somewhere to go

But won’t you make yourself at home and stay with me?

Don’t you ever leave

Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms

Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?

Lay down Sally, you don’t need to leave so soon

I’ve been trying all night long to talk to you

The sun is nearly on the rise, we still got the moon and stars above us

Underneath the velvet skies love is all that matters

Won’t you stay with me?

And don’t you ever leave

Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms

Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?

Lay down Sally, you don’t need to leave so soon

I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you

Oh I want to walk up to you

And tell you, tell you everything

I want to talk to you, just to talk to you

And poor out all the love that’s in my heart

I long to see the morning light colouring your face so dreamily

So don’t you go and say goodbye

You can lay your worries down and stay with me

And don’t you ever leave

Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms

Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?

Lay down Sally, you don’t need to leave so soon

I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you

Lay down Sally, rest you in my arms

Don’t you think you want someone to talk to?

Lay down Sally, you don’t need to leave so soon

I’ve been trying all night long just to talk to you
