  • Too many times I didn't try to hold you
    I never kept the promises I told you
    Now it's time I give in, I know
    To the words that I should have said long ago

    [Chorus]
    Lady lay down beside me
    Wrap all your love around me
    I need you to stay
    Don't turn away from me now
    Lady lay down

    You've been alone, I guess I've known about it
    You gave me love & learned to live without it
    Now that you've turned to go
    Let me beg you to stay the best way I know

    [Chorus: x2]

  • Jim Hadaway from Opelika, AlHave Tickets for Show in Oxford May 5 or 15. Looking so forward to the Show. I’m 80 in July and can’t listen to John enough. Do You think God allows Country Music in Heaven with Bill Anderson being my favorite. I’m Handicapped and Hope I get To Meat Him.
  • Brad from Barry, TxI've never heard a bad John Conlee song, and "Lady Lay Down" is no exception. Although, "Rose Colored Glasses" is probably my favorite Conlee track, each one was great. A great voice and some really wonderful songs.
