    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    Lay, lady, lay
    Lay across my big brass bed
    Lay, lady, lay
    Lay across my big brass bed
    Whatever colors you have in your mind
    I’ll show them to you and you’ll see them shine
    [Verse 2]
    Lay, lady, lay
    Lay across my big brass bed
    Stay, lady, stay
    Stay with your man awhile
    Until the break of day, let me see ya' make him smile
    His clothes are dirty but his, his hands are clean
    And you’re the best thing that he’s ever seen
    [Verse 3]
    Stay, lady, stay
    Stay with your man awhile
    Why wait any longer for the world to begin
    You can have your cake and eat it too
    Why wait any longer for the one you love
    When he’s standing in front of you
    [Verse 4]
    Lay, lady, lay
    Lay across my big brass bed
    Stay, lady, stay
    Stay while the night is still ahead
    I long to see you in the morning light
    I long to reach for you in the night
    Stay, lady, stay
    Stay while the night is still ahead

    This song played a big role in helping me make one of the most important decisions in my life. I had been single for nearly 20 years after a very nasty divorce. I had 3 children to raise and they too had been traumatized by their father leaving, so I dedicated myself to being a full-time mom. After they were all grown, I decided it was time for me. I jumped into the dating pool and flailed around a couple of times, but then, quite unexpectedly, I met a kind, caring, heartbroken widower. All the boxes checked for us and we hit it off immediately. Guess who got scared after a couple of weeks? Yep. Me! So, I told him I needed to step back a bit and figure out if this was the direction I wanted to go or not. After a painful couple of weeks filled with uncertainty, this song, Lay Lady Lay, came on the radio. I was literally on my kitchen floor doing some heavy duty scrubbing when these lyrics, I'd heard many times before, suddenly seemed like I was hearing them for the first time and that they were for ME --- "Why wait any longer for the world to begin
    You can have your cake and eat it too
    Why wait any longer for the one you love
    When he's standing in front of you."
    That was it! I knew from that very second that I was almost throwing away the love of my life. Thankfully, he had been patiently waiting for me to figure out what I wanted. He was there with open arms ---- and has been for the last 7 years. We were both married months before our 60th birthdays and I could not be happier. This song was our first dance at our wedding. Thanks Mr. Dylan. You saved me.

We were going to see my Grandma in Seattle. it was a beautiful spring day (a Saturday I believe) and we were all dressed up for a super lunch! I had a brand new Hotwheels car too. I miss those days so much and this song brings it all rushing back.

    I was in Viet Nam when this song came out. Dylan was always a favorite of mine with his song writing, poetic expression and talent. People would always say his voice sucked but I never agreed. He had a style that lived on through the ages as we all see now. He paved the way for so many other bands through the years. My brothers and myself have always talked and felt we were so lucky to have been part of this generation the likes of which will probably never be seen again.

    My husband passed away at age 30, second tour in Iraq. I’ve been single for 8 years. I recently met a really respectful and sweet man. We had our first real date last night but it wasn’t the first time we have spent time together talking. We spent time at his house talking last night and I felt really comfortable around him, which is huge bc I’ve been alone for so long. It was late and he asked me if I wanted to stay over, just to sleep bc it’s a long drive home. We held each other all night, nothing more, but it was amazing and brought me to this song. I think this could be real and that scares the hell out of me. Perfect bc it was innocent. I just feel this is right and my husband would’ve wanted me to be happy. I hope everyone listening has found happiness bc we all deserve it.

      You can't live in the past, nor can you change it. But that doesn't mean you have to forget it, either. Your experiences make you who you are. Just ride the rapids and do what makes you happy. Nothing wrong with that. I'm sure your late husband would tell you the same thing.

      PS, If I can speak for your late husband, As much as he 💕 loved you, he would want you to be happy! As my late grandfather would tell us in times of pain and sorrow, We have to keep breathing, keep moving, live in a way that would make them proud! So live life to the fullest !

    My son was recently singing this song while walking around the house, I asked him where he knew it from. He never listens to my old records but I have quite a collection. Turns out he has his friends over every odd weekend to drink beers and listen to music - MY music - while I work the night shift. I thought he was having a girlfriend, was I wrong. :)

    I love this song. Not only is it a haunting song that echos from my childhood- every player on it is a legend. Charlie Daniels on guitar! Dylan himself. Pete Drake on pedal steel- who invented the talk box that Peter Frampton made famous. Even Kenny Buttrey on drums is a story- none other than Kris Kristofferson holds the bongos and cowbell in his hand for Kenny to play! Even the human percussion stand is a legend on this track. It truly captures another time and place, my favorite Dylan song.

      That steel comes in and it's over. Sobbing mess. I cry for the feeling he emotes in these lyrics. It's all too much, sometimes. How flattering and humbling to've been Mr Dylan's muse, I assume Sara.

    I'm simply love this song. I have searched for it a long time, because this is not a typical Bob Dylan song. It sounds a bit, like a horse is riding all the way long. And the perfect voice with the gently weeping country guitar - wow!

  • @dmulk1

    This song has a strange effect on me when I hear it. It's not quite a feeling of sadness but rather a more melancholic sort of feeling. It makes me long for the late 60's even though I wasn't born until 1971.

    Rest Easy Charlie Daniels, he played guitar on this album and a few others by Dylan, but he was a country music legend and always will be.

    This song was played at my Dad's funeral a few days ago, we were close when I was young but grew apart in my teens. I'm 41 and we didn't speak for four years before he passed away. My mum had a hand in that and I struggle to forgive her. Such a beautiful song and this will always remind me of him x I love you Dad xx

      Paul, I'm sorry 😔 to read your comment about growing apart from your dad when you were a teenager, when you needed his support and love the most, because that particular age decade of teen years is quite difficult as your mind, soul and body are transitioning from child to an adult, dads typically, since they are men and wired different than women, have a hard time understanding this special life journey and even become VERY upset over certain normal aspects of growing up even though they too may have experimented with certain things and been in similar situations themselves as teens. Sorry to learn of the friction between the two of you and your loss. Such a sad situation to be in...😢😭
