[Verse 1: Sam Smith]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]

Told me not to cry when you were gone

But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong

[Chorus: Sam Smith]

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

[Verse 2: John Legend]

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

[Chorus: Sam Smith & John Legend]

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

[Outro: Sam Smith & John Legend]

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-ou
