lie v.s. lay

[lost_soul]

Hi,

Could you tell me which phrase you would be happy with, please?

[Yankee]

Hi Alex

You're right. The first sentence is the better one.

Your second sentence reminds me of a classic children's bedtime prayer:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.

You're welcome.
