- Our next guest was here in November,
and two weeks later he was nominated
for a record six Grammy awards.
Coincidence? You tell me.
Here to perform "Lay Me Down,"
please welcome the incredible Sam Smith.
[cheers and applause]
- [singing] Yes, I do
I believe
That one day I will be
Where I was
Right there
Right next to you
And it's hard
The days just seem so dark
The moon and the stars
Are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin
Where do I begin
No words can explain
The way I'm missing you
Deny this emptiness
This hole that I'm inside
These tears
They tell their own story
You told me not to cry
When you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming
It's much too strong
Can I lay by your side
Next to you
You-ooh
And make sure you're all right
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here
If I can't be with you
Tonight
I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you
Missing you like crazy
[vocalizing]
Can I lay
By your side
Next to you
You-ooh
And make sure
You're all right
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here
If I can't be with you
Tonight
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Lay me down
Tonight
Lay me by your side
Can I lay
By your side
Next to you
You-ooh
[cheers and applause]
Happy birthday.
Mwah. Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
Sam Smith, everybody!
Oh, you're so sweet.
The 57th Annual Grammy Awards air on February 8th

I love you. We'll be back.
Sam Smith.
