Theres a lot of ways of sayin what I want to say to you
Theres songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come true
But I wont talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground
Ill come right out and tell you Id 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
And Ill let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darling how Id love to lay you down
Theres so many ways your sweet loves made this house into a home
Youve got a way of doin little things that turn me on
Like standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown
With your hair all up in curlers Id still love to lay you down
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear…
When a whole lot of Decembers are showin in your face
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place
Youll be just as lovely and Ill still be around
And if I can I know that Id still love to lay you down
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear…
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear…
Oh darling how Id love to lay you down
