[Verse 1]
To lay me down, once more
To lay me down
With my head in sparkling clover
Let the world go by, like clouds a-streaming
To lay me down, one last time
To lay me down

[Chorus]
To lay me down, whoa-oh
To lay me down
To lay me down, one last time
To lay me down

[Verse 2]
To lie with you, once more
To lie with you
With our dreams entwined together
Let the world go by, all lost in dreaming
To lay me down, one last time
To lay me down

[Chorus]
To lay me down, whoa-oh
To lay me down
To lay me down, one last time
To lay me down
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
To be with you, once more
To be with you
With our dreams bodies close together
Let the world go by, all lost in dreaming
To tell sweet lies, one last time, and say good night

[Chorus]
To lay me down, whoa-oh
To lay me down
To lay me down, one last time
To lay me down

[Outro]
Here's another tragic lament of romance, lost love, and hot lead
