Verse

Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars, are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain, the way I'm missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story

Chorus

You told me not to cry when you were gone 
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

Verse

I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missing you like crazy

Chorus

You told me not to cry when you were gone 
But the feelings overwhelming, it's much too strong 
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

Instrumental

    

Outro

Lay me down tonight 
lay me by your side 
Lay me down tonight 
lay me by your side 
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
