Lay Soft On Your Pillow

Allan Taylor


Tom: G

Am  G  D    Am  G  D    Am

[Verse]
    G            D
Lay soft on your pillow tonight
        Am           G        D
For the morning will come too soon
Am           C       G         D
Watching the shadows fade into light
        Em      C           D       Em  C  D    Am
We will bid farewell to the moon

[Verse]
    G             D                  Am
And while you are sleeping my love
       G          D
I will watch over you
Am         C              G         D
Flickering eyes show your innermost dreams
     Em         C      D     Em  C  D
When love comes to us anew

[Chorus]
Em           C       G         D
Though I may be some distance away
   Em       C      G    D
In truth we are as one
Em          C          G            D
You will be with me by night and by day
    Em           C      D
And forever when all is gone

[Instrumental]
Am  G  D    Am  G  D    Am

[Verse]
    G            D
The night is too short my love
        Am          G       D      Am
And the road is too long to know
       C          G         D
I will carry this memory of you
       Em     C      D     Em  C  D    Am
To the places I must go

[Verse]
         G          D
When the swallows return with the spring
        Am          G           D
And the meadows are flowered in bloom
Am       C       G        D
I will return to see you again
        Em         C      D       Em  C  D
And the place that I call home

[Chorus]
Em           C       G         D
Though I may be some distance away
   Em       C      G    D
In truth we are as one
Em          C          G            D
You will be with me by night and by day
    Em           C      D
And forever when all is gone

[Instrumental]
Am  G  D    Am  G  D    Am

[Verse]
    G            D
Lay soft on your pillow tonight
        Am           G        D
For the morning will come too soon
Am           C       G         D
Watching the shadows fade into light
        Em      C           D
We will bid farewell to the moon
        Em  C               D
We will bid farewell to the moon
