Rest Your Love On Me – Bee Gees
Bee Gees adalah grup musik yang dulunya terdiri dari tiga bersaudara: Barry, Robin, dan Maurice Gibb. Sepanjang empat puluh tahun karier mereka yang sukses di industri musik rekaman, mereka pernah mengalami dua kali puncak kejayaan. Puncak kejayaan mereka yang pertama berlangsung dari akhir tahun 1960-an hingga awal tahun 1970-an sebagai trio yang membawakan lagu-lagu “soft rock” yang harmonis. Puncak kejayaan yang kedua berlangsung pada akhir tahun 1970-an sebagai band beraliran disko.
“Rest Your Love on Me” was written by Barry Gibb in 1976 and recorded it in May 2 on the Children of the World sessions. Stephen Stills played bass on its original demo.[1]
It was not used until “Too Much Heaven” was released, as “Rest Your Love on Me” was chosen as the B-side. As a country song it did not fit in with what the Bee Gees were putting on their albums, even though they continued to write the occasional country song, like “Where Do I Go”, also left off the forthcoming album.[2]

Maybe you don’t know me anymore then I know you
And I wouldn’t blame you if you walked away
I been watchin’ you all evenin’ with the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me much more then I can say
You know I’d hate to think that someone Could have hurt someone like you
And if I was him , I’d be right by your side
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in
Saw your lonely face across the room
No, I won’t forget it
And the way it might have been
Why did you have to leave so soon
You know I’d hate to think that someone Could have loved you more than me
And at times like this I’d be right by your side
How long must I wait for the last train to be here
And the last chance to know
Get to think that I was born too soon
How long honey, when the lovin’ don’t come
I was there when you left me
Just didn’t know how to begin
Lay your troubles on my shoulders
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
