Lyrics
Lay It In My Arms
Lyric & Music: Kevin Reardon; Copyright 2017
Verse
I heard that you’re carrying a heartache; your man don’t love you no more
And you don’t know what to do with that sorrow that he left outside your door
Don’t hang on to a broken dream; that isn’t going to help you
If you wanna put away his memory; I know what you can do
Chorus
Lay it in my arms; let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders; give yourself a little time
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the friend you need
Lay it in my arms; trust your heart with me
Verse
I can tell you that healing takes time; I’ve been there; you’ll make it through
I had to renew my faith in love and I know you can do it, too
Hope is fragile like a house of cards; you’ll need to build it day by day
If you want somewhere to put your new dream, I know a place
Chorus
Lay it in my arms; let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders; give yourself a little time
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the strength you need
Lay it in my arms; trust your heart with me
Bridge
You’re like a Phoenix; so beautiful; when you want to fly, I’m here
Let me be the one you turn to with all the love you’re ready to share
Lay it in my arms … lay it in my arms, girl; lay it in my arms … lay it in my arms, girl
Chorus
Lay it in my arms; let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders; give yourself a little time
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the love of your dreams
Lay it in my arms; trust your heart with me
