    Lyrics:
    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, and 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
    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?
    And make sure you're all right
    I'll take care of you
    I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
    I'm reaching out to you
    Can you hear my call?
    This hurt that I've been through
    I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
    You 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?
    And make sure you're all right
    I'll take care of you
    I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
    Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
    Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
    Can I lay by your side, next to you, you?

    Put your headphones on, close your eyes, and I guarantee you will feel goosebumps, and maybe even cry a little! This guy's voice is god's gift to soul music! I can relate to his lyrics, maybe that's why it really hits me hard, and gets me a little emotional. And I don't care what any one says, I'm comfortable enough to admit my emotional and sensitive side as a man.

    Lyrics
    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 and 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
    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
    And make sure you're alright
    I'll take care of you
    I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
    I'm reaching out to you
    Can you hear my call?
    This hurt that I've been through
    I'm missing you, missing you like crazy
    [This verse is only in the album version:]
    You 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
    And make sure you're alright
    I'll take care of you
    I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
    Lay me down tonight
    Lay me by your side
    Lay me down tonight
    Lay me by your side
    Can I lay by your side?
    Next to you
    You

      Elianna, "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith is one of my all- time favorite songs! It's not because I want Sam to lay down with me, (I know he's gay) it's because he and Sam Smith and his producer, Jimmy Napes can make this song of death yet turn it into about LOVE! xx

    I just wanted to say thank you Sam Smith... Thank you for making me feel something, anything... I miss my grandfather so much and this song just screams what my heart is too broken to say. He was in so much pain, I wanted to help him with all my soul but for the life of me, there was nothing to do but let him go. In the end he just layed there so numb, so gone, just there. So I just layed next to him and watched him as he faded away into the abyss. It's been hard letting go of tears that has been built up since but you have made me able to do just that. You helped me really let it go.. Thank you for putting your soul and heart into everything you do.

    • @impatientmom
      @impatientmom 9 років тому

      Melissa Ivana It's comforting to know that there are still musicians who have heart and meaning to what they sing about. You can feel love in music when it's actually there... And Sam Smith has that love. :)

      I felt the same way about the unplugged version of “Take on Me” (the one they used in Deadpool 2). It makes you really think of the meaning of the song’s lyrics and therefore it’s more emotional because it’s more simple.

    I miss you son so so much ❤️
    Sittin in the darkness running through my mind
    looking at the memories of my long lost child
    hoping to revive him n bring him home to me
    but then I realise that that just won't be
    I'm living in this torture running through my mind
    searching for the reason of which I cannot find
    Why he had to leave me and leave this empty space
    gone and lost forever and never to be replaced

    I love the mood shift within this song. From the almost "musical" style of the beginning, to the swing of a Sinatra-esque... To the big bold bridge... I LOVE IT! Plus this song truly shows his range... Most of his songs are mid range/falsetto... But I like his lower register too. This song is brilliant.

    There are people that can hold notes, people that have pleasant voices and in general, sound good; but occasionally there are people that make you rise up from your bed,sit up in your chair, or even pull your car over, turn up the radio and say "Who is that?" Then suddenly the DJ says "that was that new artist Sam Smith" and in a moment of delight and confusion you say to yourself "Who the fk is Sam Smith"? I didn't know last week but after seeing his appearance on Saturday Night Live, I certainly know now. And I'm glad about it. His singing makes my soul happy. Thank you Sam

    This song hits home for me on many different levels. My 3 and a half year old son is dying from a rare form of Brain tumor, Diffuse Insintric Pontine Glioma or DIPG for short. He doesn't have much time left and this song speaks to me in my time of need. Music I believe will be my savior in this time of need and God has giving me many signs of strength but by far this is the biggest yet. Thank you Sam Smith for sharing a song with so much meaning. Artists are tending to make music that sells not made as art and you sir are an artist with an amazing gift. This song means the world to me and I'm going to play it at his funeral if possible.

I can't explain it, your music and your emotion and your passion just sometimes makes me break down and cry for hours when I need it. I don't know if I can thank you enough. You are so talented and so blessed. And you've given that blessing unto us with your beautiful music. I love you, Sam.

    What most people dont know is the story behind this song. This song was wrote in memory of Sam's (either his ex or husband) who passed away. That adds even more emotion to this song. This song gets to me. I showed one of my ex's this song way back when I first heard it. Well long story short, we didnt work out mainly because I wasnt ready to settle down really, and she passed away shortly afterwards. I miss her alot. I also know that when I'm blaring this in my truck or my house and just absolutely going all out singing it, I know she knows I'm singing it to her. I love you Alisha.

    The moon, and 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
    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
    And make sure you're alright
    I'll take care of you
    And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
    I'm reaching out to you
    Can you hear my call, boy?
    This hurt that I've been through
    I'm missing you, I'm missing you like crazy, you
    Can I lay by your side? Next to you, to you
    And make sure you're alright
    I'll take care of you
    And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
    Oh, lay me down tonight
    Lay me by your side, whoa
    Lay me down tonight
