lyrics

“Lay Me Down”
words and music by Shannon Curtis

Although the world is coming to and end, I don’t think there’s been a lovelier night
Walking slowly with you hand in hand, it’s hard imagining we won’t be alright
And if we never see the morn again, I will join the dead without a fight
If you lay me down
Lay me down

Never has the saying “now or never” been about the ending of time
But here we are the in the eleventh hour, finally somehow we’re giving up pride
Looking back from here is not allowed, and since tomorrow can’t be found in real life
Won’t you lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down tonight

For best or worst, a blessed curse is our fate
Who could have guessed the universe would end up this way?
So this perfect evening we’ll be leaving nothing to waste
Now is when love and history are made

With only minutes, maybe seconds, left, will you press your lips to mine
The beating won’t be held within my chest and all the rest of me is resigned
And though this is the last of all my breaths, it’s the best one of my life
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
