I'd Love to Lay You Down

There's a lot of ways of sayin'

What I wanna say to you

There's songs and poems and promises

And dreams that might come true

But I won't talk of starry skies

Or moonlight on the ground

I'll come right out and tell you

I'd just love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper

Pretty love words in your ear

Lay you down and tell you all the things

A woman loves to hear

I'll let you know how much it means

Just havin' you around

Oh, darlin', how I'd love to lay you down

There's so many ways your sweet love's

Made this house into a home

You've got a way of doing

Little things that turn me on

Like standin' in the kitchen

In your faded cotton gown

With your hair all up in curlers

I still love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper

Pretty love words in your ear

Lay you down and tell you all the things

A woman loves to hear

I'll let you know how much it means

Just havin' you around

Oh, darlin', how I'd love to lay you down

When a whole lot of Decembers

Are showin' in your face

Your auburn hair has faded

And silver takes it's place

You'll be just as lovely

And I'll still be around

And if I can't I know that

I'd still love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper

Pretty love words in your ear

Lay you down and tell you all the things

A woman loves to hear

I'll let you know how much it means

Just havin' you around

Oh, darlin', how I'd love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper

Pretty love words in your ear

Lay you down and tell you all the things

My woman loves to hear

I'll let you know how much it means

Just havin' you around

Oh, darlin', how I love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper

Pretty love words in your ear

Lay you down and tell you all the things

My woman loves to hear

I'll let you know how much it means

Just havin' you around
