Lyrics
People come and people go
In and out is all we know
Everything and nothing is the same
Alone in a crowded room
Wishing this cliché would end soon
Upside-down umbrella in the rain
Oh, I need you tonight
(Chorus)
So right now would you lay with me a little while
You don’t have to say a thing just stay right by my side
I just need to know you’re here so hold me good and tight
And lay with me a little while
Broken heart that longs to pray, I
Just can’t find the words to say that
Everything and nothing is the same
We’ll hum a lonely tune instead
To still the circles in my head
A prayer from the heart that speaks the same
Oh, I need you tonight
(Chorus)
Lord, I know that there’s a purpose
Behind everything we do
So please help me see beyond myself
To tell the truth
(Chorus)
Lay with me a little while
Please lay with me a little while
A little while
