Lay Down Beside Me
Alison Krauss Lyrics
I've spent my life
Lookin for you
Findin' my way
Wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you
All the while
And it's been worth
Every mile
So lay down beside me
And kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away
(Alison)
Mornings and evenings
All were the same
There was no music
Til I heard your name
I knew when I saw you smile
And now I can rest for a while
(Both)
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away
And hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away
(Alison hums - John Sings)
Love me and hide me
'Til I feel your heart beat
(Both hum to fade)

Signed to Rounder Records as a 14-year-old fiddler from Champaign, Illinois, she has become the most recognized face in contemporary bluegrass, a critically acclaimed artist who has brought modern sophistication to the genre while respecting its traditions. Songfacts reports that in 2011 Krauss recorded her first ever number one country album in her home country with Paper Airplane. She has also sold upwards of 11 million records and garnered 2 Oscar nominations as well as 26 Grammy® Awards, the most for any female artist in Grammy® history.
Also impressive is Krauss's unwavering commitment to being an independent-label artist who has succeeded far beyond the scope of many major-label artists. She has circulated freely within pop, mainstream country and roots music circles, as a solo artist and with her long-time band Union Station, creating impeccably produced records that appeal to an equally wide-ranging and inquisitive audience. Krauss has continued doing things the old-fashioned way: following her heart and whatever path the music takes her on.

I've spent my life
Lookin' for you
Findin' my way
Wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you
All the while
And it's been worth
Every mile
So, lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
And kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away
Mornings and evenings
All were the same
There was no music
Till I heard your name
I knew when I saw you smile
And now I can rest for a while
And hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away
Love me and hide me
Till I feel your heart beat

I’ve spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn’t easy to do
But I knew there was your all the while
And it’s been worth every mile
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don’t ever wander away
Mornings and evenings all were the same
And there was no music till I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest for awhile
So lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurtin' of this world away
Hold me so close that I feel your heartbeat
And don’t ever wander away
Thx 4 beautiful song

lost my husband 7 years ago. we was married for 54 years. my best friend, my hero, the love of my life. we never lost that butterfly effect when we seen each other. miss him every day
Elizabeth Young
The same for me, almost seven years and together for 41. The pain and the longing never goes away does it. It just lives inside where no one sees and everyone thinks you're fine. Once our children were up and gone, we grew so close we were part of each other. Losing him means losing part of myself. X
