There′s a lot of ways of sayin' what I want to 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 groundI'll come right out and tell you I′d just love to lay you down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear

Lay ya 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 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 ya down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear

Lay ya 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 its place

You′ll be just as lovely, and I'll still be around

And if I can, I know that I′d still love to lay you down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear

Lay ya 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 ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear

Lay ya 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′d love to lay you down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear

Lay ya 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'd love to lay you down
