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 be true
But I wont talk of stary skies or moonlight on the ground,
I'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 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 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
