Lay, la dy, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
Lay, la dy, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
What ev er (F#m)col ors you have
in your mind,
I’ll show them to (F#m)you
and you’ll see them shine.
Lay, la dy, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
Stay, la dy, stay,
stay a with your (Bm)man a while.
What ev er (F#m)col ors you have
in your mind,
I’ll show them to (F#m)you
and you’ll see them shine.
Un til the break of day,
let me see you (Bm)make him smile.
His clothes are (F#m)dir ty but his
hands are clean.
And you’re the (F#m)best thing that he’s
ev er seen.
Why wait an y long er for the (E)world to (F#m)be gin,
You can have your cake and (Bm)eat it (A)too.
Why wait an y long er for the (E)one (F#m)you love,
When he’s (C#m)stand ing
in front of (Bm)you.
Lay, la dy, lay,
lay a cross my (Bm)big brass bed.
Stay, la dy, stay,
stay while the night is still a head.
I long to (F#m)see you in the
morn ing light,
I long to reach (F#m)for
you in the night.
Stay, la dy, stay,
stay while the night is still a head.
