Lay With Me

Lay with me another minute longer

I’m not ready to let you go

Hold me in your arms a little stronger

So you feel loved when I walk out the door

 

There are thousands of things I should do

The dishes are dirty, the laundry’s a zoo

But all that I want to do is lay here with you

There’s nothing more important than you

 

Lay with me another minute longer

I’m not ready to let you go

Hold me in your arms a little stronger

So you feel loved when I walk out the door

 

Lay with me another minute longer

I’m not ready to let you go

Hold me in your arms a little stronger

So you feel loved when I walk out the door

When I walk out the door

It’s the end of the day, my sweet

Time to wrap up your play, to sleep

I’ll be up in a minute, to tuck you in

 

I watch as you walk down the hall

When did you grow so tall?

I remember the days I would carry you

When you were small

 

Lay with me another minute longer

I’m not ready to let you go

Hold me in your arms a little stronger

So you feel loved when I walk out the door

 

I watch as you ponder the day,

Sharing stories and funny games

Then I kiss you cause it’s getting late

And we start to pray
