Lay You Down Easy Lyrics

Was a sunny August

Afternoon that you arrived

Held you in my arms

And felt the warmth inside

I looked in your eyes

And you stared back at me

And in that moment

I knew the man that I could be

Then came your sister

And now we were complete

We got married

Happy family

Then God took a shotgun

And brought us to our knees

How does a child like you

Deserve this disease

And I won't let you go

But I will lay you down easy

I will hold your head

I will kiss you goodnight

As I put you to bed

I will roll you over

Lay you on your side

And I will kiss you goodnight

As I turn out the light

And I remember

The first steps that you took

Took you a few tries

But then you understood

And I remember

The first words that you said

Hi Dad you alright

Is stuck in my head

"Hi Dad you alright"

And I won't let you go

But I will lay you down easy

I will hold your head

I will kiss you goodnight

As I put you to bed

I will roll you over

Lay you on your side

And I will kiss you goodnight

As I turn out the light

I will lay down easy

Lay you down easy

Lay down easy

Lay you down

I will lay down easy

Lay you down easy

Lay down easy

Lay you down

I will lay you down easy

I will hold your hand

I will kiss you goodnight

But you won't understand

I will stroke your hair

Take that last look in your eyes

And I will kiss you goodnight

As we say goodbye

I will lay you down easy

I will hold your head

I will kiss you goodnight

As I put you to bed

I will roll you over

Lay you on your side

And I will kiss you goodnight

As I turn out the light

I will lay down easy

Lay you down easy

Lay down easy

Lay you down

I will lay down easy

Lay you down easy

Lay down easy

Lay you down

I will lay down easy

Lay you down easy

Lay down easy

Lay you down

Down

Down
