Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, I do, I believe that one day I will be where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, the stars are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain the way I'm missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I'm inside
These tears, they tell their own story
[Verse 2]
Told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you?
[Verse 3]
I'll take care of you (You)
[Verse 4]
You
[Verse 5]
I'm reaching out to you, can you hear my call?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you, missin' you like crazy, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you?
[Verse 6]
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
