[Verse]
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 ya,
I d just love to lay ya down,
[Chorus]
Lay ya down and softly whisper,
pretty love words in your ear,
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
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 ya down,
[Verse]
There?s so many ways your sweet love?s
made this house into a home,
You?ve got a way of doin? little things that turn me on,
Like standin? in the kitchen, in your faded cotton gown,
With your hair all up in curlers I d still
love to lay you down,
[Chorus]
Lay ya down and softly whisper,
pretty love words in your ear,
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
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 ya down,
[Verse]
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 I know that I ll still love to lay you down,
[Chorus] (x2)
Lay ya down and softly whisper,
pretty love words in your ear,
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things
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 ya down,
