Someone to Lay Down Beside Me
by Linda Ronstadt

there's somebody waiting alone in the street for someone to walk up and greet.
here you are all alone in the city.
where's the love that you took to your side?
lonely faces will stare through your eyes in the night.
and they'll say...woman, sweet woman, please come home with me.
you 'r'e shining and willing and free.
but your love is a common occurance, not like love i feel in my heart.
still you know that may be what i need.

is someone to lay down beside me,
and even though it's not real
just someone to lay down beside me.
you're the story of my life

someone to lay down beside me.
and even though it's not real.
just someone to lay down beside me.
you're the story of my life.

morning is breaking, the street lights are off.
the sun will soon share all the cost, all the love that can be sorta heartless,
not like love that i feel in my heart,
still you know that may be all you get..

is someone to lay down beside you
and even though it's not real,
just someone to lay down beside you.

you just can't ask for more
