Sam Smith - Lay Me Down (Acoustic)

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?

Throwback to my first ever video, uploaded all the way back in January 2013. It's amazing how much has changed!! Thank you to all of you for your support, I love you all so much xx po.st/SamSmithTimeline

[adarshgujadhur]

Am I the only one craving for an Adele and Sam Smith duet?

[mynameisvampka]

How, how on earth can he sing this song like this, this perfectly pitched, without crying?? Can't imagine.

[millbillkillbill]

You see the distance he has from the microphone? That's How Strong that voice could be smh truetalent man

[psyvoi]

Why are people surprised that they connect to this song when its written by a gay dude for another gay dude. Like, maybe love is universal??? Maybe a man can love a man the same way we say a man can only love a woman?

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

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.

[allannelson]

The real OG fans know this was the original version that came out.. then the studio version came out bc this original acoustic went so viral. This was his break out record and never gets old.

[micahokelley]

His hair looks like a slice of chocolate cake.

[infinityxdreams]

The acoustic is way better.. This is giving so many feels and I love it

[RaquelVSarmiento]

he needs to do a duet with Adele. They would do a great cover. 

[Mo-knkt]

If him and adele did a song together I swear to God I will drown in my own tears..

[NikiaDelaney]

I want to just steal his voice and make a person out of it. Then take it to Vegas to marry it, so it could sing sweet lullabies to me at night since he wouldn't like little ol me. 😉😍 Don't judge me, his voice is pure silk! He's my Michael McDonald of 2014!

[justanormalhooman]

OH. MY. GOD. I died. I love this song!!! Especially the part where he sings "Can I lay by your side..." I just want to burst into tears. DEM FEELS.

[elsafavre]

If this is not talent I don't know what it is

[djeesdeeempjuuuuh]

Sam is my help in whatever, whenever I feel bad, he will always be there to warm me up with his beautiful voice

[shairatalukdar]

sam smith anbd jessie j duet pleasee!! your voices will blend so well!!! love your voice!!

[michellestockdale]

Love this song it makes me cry as I lost my son aged 19 and I miss him so much
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

[forret]

What amazes me is that anyone gives this a thumbs down. Do these people steal sweets from children and drown puppies as their day job?

[lenabaker]

He's like the male version of Adele :) Nice voice
