[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Yes, I do, I believe
~#**************#~
That one day I will be where I was
~#**************#~
Right there, right next to you
~#**************#~
And its hard, the days just seem so dark
~#**************#~
The moon, the stars are nothing without you
~#**************#~
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
~#**************#~
No words can explain the way Im missing you
~#**************#~
Deny this emptiness, this hole that Im inside
~#**************#~
These tears, they tell their own story
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Told me not to cry when you were gone
~#**************#~
But the feelings overwhelming, its much too strong
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
~#**************#~
And make sure youre all right?
~#**************#~
Ill take care of you
~#**************#~
I dont want to be here if I cant be with you tonight
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Im reaching out to you
~#**************#~
Can you hear my call? (Whos to say you wont hear me?)
~#**************#~
This hurt that Ive been through
~#**************#~
Im missing you, missing you like crazy
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
You told me not to cry when you were gone
~#**************#~
But the feelings overwhelming, its much too strong
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
~#**************#~
And make sure youre all right?
~#**************#~
Ill take care of you
~#**************#~
I dont want to be here if I cant be with you tonight
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
~#**************#~
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Can I lay by your side, next to you? You
