Lay Your Head Down Lyrics

beautiful sleeping baby
don't let it pass you by
when the leaves on the autumn trees all fall
what do you find
lay your head down, lay your head down...

beautiful sleeping baby
sail on the river wide
when the leaves of autumn trees all fall
baby don't cry
lay your head down, lay your head down...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I've looked up the lyrics to this song numerous times (including on this site), and every time it says that the lyrics are "...when the leaves on the autumn trees all fall..." but if you listen to the song, the lyrics aren't the same. He sings, "...when the leaves on the autumn trees all die..." I do love this song, though (: and I'm slightly excited that I get to be the first person to say something in regards to it (even if it is just talking about lyrics).
