Barry Manilow - Lay Me Down Lyrics






Got dust on my piano
And dishes in the sink
Your side of the bed is cold
I haven't slept a wink
So I read your goodbye letter
To the face inside my drink
Lay me down and roll me out to sea

Got your picture in my wallet
And some pictures in my mind
A pocketfull of memories
I never thought I'd find
And it's rainin' like a Monday
And the world seems so unkind
So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down, roll me out to sea
Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you're ready shine your light on me

Now listen to my story
Cause I haven't told it all
I saw her with her new love
She turned to me and called
When they asked, "How ya' doing?"
I could crumbled like a wall
So lay me down and roll me out to sea

Lay me down roll me out to sea
Callin' on a mighty wave to cover me
Lay me down
Roll me out to sea
Heaven, if you're ready, shine your light on me

    Brings back memories of a time of first love and carefree world,

    As of 9/14/2018, there were five very emotionally constipated individuals who had checked in on this song.
    Or perhaps they were just musical morons.

    I was such a sap as a teenager...This song ALWAYS made me cry. I remember I'd play it over and over alone in my bedroom at night with my headphones on and the lights off. Barry really made us explore some really DEEP emotions when we were young.

    m.... ....

    Dude...you and I are from the same era. I used to do the same.

  6. G.... R....

    This song is a very sad song. And most of us at one time or another get our hearts broken. I was 19. I never got over her. I am now 54, and when i hear this song, it might as well been yesterday. Amazing how some moments in your life are just so big, we never really go away. Boy, this song brings it all back.....Sometimes its good to feel bad. It makes me know i really did feel love at times in my life....

  7. l.... n....

    I'm sitting here sobbing because this song always gets me but right now, I DO have dust on my piano and dishes in the sink.  It's also raining like a Monday and the world seems so unkind.

    l.... n....

    Hope you have cheered up since then the sunshine always comes back out we sometimes just have to be patient.

    l.... n....

    Thanks. I'm doing much better.

  8. R.... S....

    Great album...
