You were the first, you were the best
And now we're gonna rest
And I'm ready to confess
Deep in my heart, I still love you

I still want more than I can see (Lay down, lay down)
On a day you left me free (Lay down, lay down)
I s'pose that much I will agree
Deep in my heart, I still love you

In a list of people that I've known
Ten thousand rivers I have crossed
I could not see them be alone
Didn't you? Didn't you?

When a man in every day (Lay down, lay down)
Loves more in every way (Lay down, lay down)
And now there's nothing left to say
Deep in my heart, I still love you

Lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down
Lay down (I seem to be left for good), lay down
Lay down (Like a deathbed singalong, yeah)

I've seen the fire in the heart
I've seen the deaths among you all
Ten thousand rivers I have crossed
Didn't I? Didn't I?
You were the first, you were the best (Lay down, lay down)
And I've forgotten all the rest (Lay down, lay down)
And I'm ready to confess
Deep in my heart, I still love you

Lay down, lay down
Yes, I do, darling
Lay down, lay down
Yes, I do, darling
