Someone To Lay Down Beside Me

---

Someone To Lay Down Beside Me Written by Karla Bonoff Copyright 1976 Sky Harbor Music (BMI) Used With Permission There's somebody waiting alone in the street For someone to walk up and greet Here you are all alone in the city Where's the one that you took to your side Lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night And they'll say - woman sweet woman please come home with me You're shining and willing and free But your love it's a common occurence Not like love that I feel in my heart Still you know that may be what I need Is someone to lay down beside me And even though it's not real Just someone to lay down beside me You're the story of my life Well morning is breaking the street lights are off The sun will soon share all the cost Of a world that can be sort of heartless Not like love that you feel in your heart Still you know that may be all you get Is someone to lay down beside me And even tho it's not real Just someone to lay down beside me You just can't ask for more
