Lay Down By Me,Lay Down,I See Your Smile

I dreamed of you last night, you wore a smile Fifty years ago you took your life And left me for the agony, the trial Since then I’ve had no vision but denial Your face was absent,cut out by a knife I dreamed of you last night, your little smile There was no motive, we had never quarreled I was blinded, nervous and too shy You left to me the agony, the trial Who consoles the woman left in horror? Sickly on my lonely bed I lay I dreamed of you last night, you wore a smile In my view, I could not see tomorrow Through my suffering I did try to pay You left to me the agony, the trial The grief of fifty years has gone away Oh, lay down, baby,lay down, baby lay I dreamed of you last night, your face your smile You consoled me then, old lovers reconciled
