Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Lay Me Down

Got dust on my piano

And dishes in the sink

Your side of the bed is cold

I haven't slept a wink

So I read your goodbye letter

To the face inside my drink

Lay me down and roll me out to sea

Got your picture in my wallet

And some pictures in my mind

A pocketfull of memories

I never thought I'd find

And it's rainin' like a Monday

And the world seems so unkind

So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down, roll me out to sea

Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me

Lay me down

Roll me out to sea

Heaven, if you're ready shine your light on me

Now listen to my story

Cause I haven't told it all

I saw her with her new love

She turned to me and called

When they asked, "How ya' doing?"

I could crumbled like a wall

So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down roll me out to sea

Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me

Lay me down

Roll me out to sea

Heaven, if you're ready, shine your light on me
