    So beautiful. I lost my mother 6 years ago and this reminds me of how I would sleep lying next to her holding her hand while she was sick with cancer. I would give anything to lay next to her and hold her hand one more time.

    Yes, I do, I believe
    That one day I will be
    Where I was right there
    Right next to you
    And its hard
    The days just seems so dark
    The moon, the stars
    Are nothing without you
    Your touch, your skin
    Where do I begin?
    No words can explain
    The way Im missing you
    Deny this emptiness
    This hole that Im inside
    These tears
    They tell their own story
    Told me not to cry when you were gone
    But the feelings overwhelming, its much too strong
    Can I lay by your side?
    Next to you, you
    And make sure youre alright
    Ill take care of you
    I dont want to be here if I cant be with you tonight
    Im reaching out to you
    Can you hear my call?
    This hurt that Ive been through
    Im missing you, missing you like crazy
    You told me not to cry when you were gone
    But the feelings overwhelming its much too strong
    Can I lay by your side?
    Next to you, you
    And make sure youre alright
    Ill take care of you
    I dont want to be here if I cant 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

    You are a beautiful human being, you did an awesome job, gave me chills, my grandparents died a month a part in sept and oct. my grandma went first, and while they were both very ill, my grandpa could not live without her, so I'm convinced he died of a broken heart, this song reminds me of them so much, my grandparents were like the movie "the notebook" soul mates. and your version of this song is my new favorite and I dedicate it to my grandparents, Waldfred and Gloria Barber, Rest in peace, we love and miss you, xoxo.
