Come and sit beside me now
Understand that I’m your man
I’ll do what I can

Come and sit beside me now
Let me rest my weary head
On the foot of your bed
I got to have your tender touch
Give me the strength that I need so much
Oh lady
Lady be mine

Well, I’m sick and I’m wondering
What the future holds for me
Do you know what I mean
Now I’m staring in the clearing
But I wish my eyes could see
Oh, yeah!
So right now I must confess
All I can do is guess
And I’ve got to have your love to comfort me

Oh lady
Lady be mine
Be my love
Lady be mine
Be my love, lady be mine
Be my love, lady be mine

I’ve got to have your tender touch
Give me the strength that I need so much
And I’ve got to have your love to comfort me

Come and stay beside me now
Hold me tight and don’t let go
Oh, no!
Come and lay beside me now
Cuz tomorrow I might go, don’t you know
I’ve got to have your tender touch
Give me the strength that I need so much

Oh lady
Lady be mine
Be my lady
Lady be mine
Be my love
Lady be mine
Oh lady
Lady be mine
Be my love
Lady be mine
Oh, I’m your lady
Lady be mine
