Kenny Rogers - Lay Down Beside Me Lyrics
I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you all the while
And it's been worth every mile.
Kiss all the hurting of this world away
Hold me so close that I'll feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away.
Mornings and evenings all were the same
And there was no music 'til I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest for a while.

❣❤❤❣
Lay Down Beside Me"
I've spent my life looking for you
Finding my way wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you all the while
And it's been worth every mile.
Lay down beside me and love me and hide me
Kiss all the hurting of this world away
Hold me so close that I'll feel your heartbeat
And don't ever wander away.
Mornings and evenings all were the same
And there was no music 'til I heard your name
But I knew when I saw you smile
Now I can rest for a while.
CHORUS
Written by Don Williams Sung by Kenny rodgers. Great combination
Don William wrote this song.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3G9AjRj5Sw
Wonderful song Don Williams write .I heard the version vith Alison Craus and vith Kenny Rogers Both very good .
My brother will take care of every thing I want him to put me in the river I have no insurance
Kenny as always did a great job on this song. The song was written by Don Williams. While I do like Kenny's job, Don will always be the gold standard.
Great song

Nice version, but how Don Williams can be topped?
Antonio Fernandes de Queiroga He (Don) can't be topped.
Fantastic, so sweet this Song...............
Don Williams wrote this song
earthmoods123 that's true
Kenny Rogers is PURE GOLD
He's a pure silver 🥈
Beautiful song--so touching...
you dot sing like Don xx
+Kathy Mayock (funny k) No, he sings like Kenny, if I want to hear Don Williams, I listen to Don Williams. If I want Kenny Rogers, I listen to Kenny Rogers.
superb song.
Shows it listed on iTunes, unfortunately it's not.
Thanks for sharing! Here is my two cents. If you'd like a really fast (approx. 10 sec/song) free music download source with huge database, I strongly recommend to try TopInWeb . com
loved my listen ....
This is awsome,Kenny you are always the best
One of the most brilliant sung songs by Kenny Rogers, the words mean so much. Absolutely love this song.....
+gw nola No. Don actually wrote it for Kenny, and Kenny recorded it first, even though Don too put it on one of his later albums .
He does almost as a good a job on this song as Don Williams.
wow what a song love it
Touchant, humain,merveilleux.
great song
superb spus!!!lay down beside me my lady!!!
Bonjour à tous les fans de Kenny Rogers sur Youtube... Joyeuses fêtes à vous tous !!!

Uno de los grandes de la música country, realmente no dejo de escucharla hoy en día ya no existe la verdadera música, sólo basura.....
Wish I could purchase this song, just love it.
a very nice song to help cool your heath
I' am therft
I agree..This version has no soul...
Dont listen
ohhh Kenny,i never get tired listening to all your songs..:)
WOW, what a beautiful way to put the sentiments of my heart in words and music!!!
It is truly amazing reading through the comments of this wonderful song, and how much it means to people. Music truly reaches to the soul. I wish my wife had such a love of music that I do. It just does not reach her, and she is missing out on so much.
I know what you mean Les. Same problem. Soaps and Reality TV are more important.
She doesn't know what she's missing,,☺
I so love this song...have to purchase both Kenny Rogers and Don Williams versions for my Christmas. Thank you for putting it on.

"DON WILLIAMS" or "KENNY ROGERS" Its still a beautiful song. Its my wife's favorite. She tries to sing along to it but she cant hold a note to save her life, but she tries and tries and ho boy, its F%$@?&G TRIEING!!!! I asked her once if she could whistle????????????????? YES I KNOW THE JOKE, SO DONT ANY ONE REPOND TO THIS COMMENT. Unless you don't know the joke about a woman who whistles? BUT NOT ON "YOUTUBE". Find me on "FACEBOOK" Loads of gags on there.
miss you so much honey! i guess it's time for me to accept the truth that we are not meant for each other! i guess it's really goodbye for both of us! i love you so much honey! patuloy pa rin kitang mamahalin, titigil lang ako sa pag asa na magkakabalikan pa ulit tayo!
The best version of this song, Don Williams wrote it, but Kenny sings it the best. Thank you for posting this to give me a pick me up.
KENNY ROGERS FOREVER!t....humb up!
im used laying down alone but i wish someone will lay down beside me sometime <3
@KiwiGirl68 And me
@jawwad68 or allison krauss
good but not as good as Don Williams
i declare. that man look good no matter what age he gets. and he sings jus as good. can i get a amen.
I wish my smiley pillow won't get tired laying down beside me, lol...
Gail, it would be a dream come true to have you "Lay Down Beside Me"
Loves you so....
my favorite Kenny song
great job kenny! love yall
It's also on Kenny Rogers' '77 self-titled album
I like the Kenny and Don Williams versions, but I think if anyone heard the Tompall Glaser version, they would think differently. I don't want to take anything away from this song, it's beautiful by about any legend.
fabulous lyrics that say it all for my love and I
@sa87100
fine song, but I`ve never heard anyone do it like Don Williams ;-)
So beautiful song!!
thanks for uploading this song!!
Love this song and background of this video!!
beautiful song....... :)
que lindo es escucharlo un leonino como yo......super country y con sentimiento!! Susana de Uruguay
i think this is a beautiful song
OK. Checked out AJ. Not the same song so no comparison (did you miss that bit?) but I'Il bet AJ's spelling is better than yours. ROFLMAO!
Actually I'm a huge DW fan :-) so i always prefer his versions of songs LOL
Lindo...lindo
Don Williams did record the song. It's on his Expressions album from 1978. He wrote it within one minute on a Sunday morning, when he was waiting for his family getting ready to go to church. But he was very afraid that when he'd hear the first song in church, he's lose the melody. So he quickly went to his office, put it on tape and then went back to church. And the words and melody were saved :-)
LIMEWIRE DO THIS ONE
This is a great song from Kenny Love his music and his soft voice awesome
you need to check your facts. dottie west was the first to have a hit with "lay down beside me", more than a few years before kenny was still with the first edition. dottie's is the best version that has been made, but this one by kenny is second
Thanks AMOAJ for the info as to Kenny actually recording the song first. He truly did a fine job singing the song Don wrote. I did not mean to take away from his version at all with my comment. I have also been a big fan of Kenny's for a long, long time. If you like the song, you should listen to the version done by Alison Krauss and John Waite. It is also a very nice version. Basically I just love the song...
Check the facts before making such comments.
In fact, it was Don who 'stole' it
Kenny recorded it first
"Lay Down Beside Me" was on Kenny's 1976 album called "Kenny Rogers" which included the super hit Lucille.
Don's version was released three years later, in 1979.
Kenny has been recording music for over 50 years - do wop, jazz vocal, big band, pop, rock, folk, psychedelic, country, pop, adult contemporary.
A real superstar of American music and under-appreciated by music industry.
Surely one of the all time great singers. I have over 100 of his songs, which are perfect. He has rare ability, distinct sound, emotion and range, resulting in an end product which is nearly peerless; the only one of his equal is Allan Clarke of The Hollies, with Russell Hitchcock of Air Supply, John Denver (the perfect all-rounder when you take in the fact that he wrote his own songs with magic melodies and beautiful poetry) and Gene Pitney in a rung close below.
Its off a disc called: The Very Best Of Kenny Rogers - Its a 2 disc set and we got it off Amazon.
You ain't wrong!! Really nice to see a fellow Kiwi enjoy this song.... :)
A good cover of a Don Williams song, but NO ONE can sing it like Don !!
no one will ever do it as good as dottie west, but, kenny comes close
Kenny you are "The Sweetest Music Man"...
Graceful and ... what not?
this is such a lovely song no matter who sings it, I love it, it's brilliant
Very nice. Does anyone have this by Allison Krauss and some guy? If oy do, please post it.
Your'e most welcome!
This was in my wedding:)
I love it too :)
i would love to have kenny rogers lay down beside me he so hot and my all time favorite singer
