There's a lot of ways of saying 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 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 My woman loves to hear I'll let you know how much it means Having 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 doing Little things that turn me on Like standing 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 My woman loves to hear I'll let you know how much it means Having you around Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down Now, 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'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 My woman loves to hear I'll let you know how much it means Having you around Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down Oh, darlin' how I'd love Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down...
