Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
I been watchin' you all evenin' with the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more than I can say
You know I'd hate to think that someone
could have hurt someone like you
And at times like this , I'd be right by your side
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in
Saw your lonely face across the room
No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
Why did you have to leave so soon
You know I'd hate to think that someone
could have loved you more than me
And if I was them, I'd be right by your side
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
How long must I wait for the last train to leave here
And the last chance to know
Get to think that I was born too soon
How long honey, when the lovin' don't come
I was there when you left me
Just didn't know how to begin
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your .. (fade out)
The lyrics to Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton-John's song Rest Your Love On Me describe a man's compassion and willingness to comfort a woman who has been hurt. The song's opening lines express self-awareness about not knowing the woman as well as she knows him, perhaps indicating a past relationship. Despite this, he presents himself as a support system and someone she can rely on, saying, "Lay your troubles on my shoulders, put your worries in my pocket." The lyrics also touch on the vulnerability and sadness of the woman, with the man taking notice of the "teardrops in [her] eyes." He assures her that he will be there by her side and that he would hate to think that someone else could have hurt or loved her more than him.
As the song progresses, we learn that the two may have had a romantic history. The man recounts seeing the woman at a gathering with a "lonely face" and feeling regret for the way things ended. He questions why she had to leave so soon and openly acknowledges that he didn't know how to begin fixing their past issues. The chorus repeats the message of support and comfort, encouraging the woman to rest her love on him a while longer.
Overall, Rest Your Love On Me is a touching and empathetic song that portrays a man's understanding and willingness to help a woman in need. The lyrics convey the importance of emotional support and the fragility of human relationships.

Maybe you don't know me
Anymore than I know you
And I wouldn't blame you if
You walked away
I've been watching you on me
With the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more
Than I can say
You know I'd hate to think that someone
Could have hurt someone like you
And if I was him
I'd be right by your side
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Saw you in the corner
On the moment I walked in
Saw your lonely face
Across the room
No, I won't forget it
And the way it might have been
Why did you have to leave
So soon
You know I'd hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And at times like this
I'd be right by your side
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

For the last train to be here?

Get to think that I was born too soon
How long, honey

Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

This is the second time they both made a duet in this song, I think this is much better than the first one. Hope they met each other now in Heaven...
@mariekeung7187
What a beautiful song by two beautiful people, gone too soon. Olivia was always very protective of Andy and when he died, it broke her heart. Now they are reunited and singing together again.
@tealmartin1376
Now Olivia has passed on too. May her memory, as well as Andy's, be for blessing.
