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 downLay 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
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you downThere's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home
You've got a way of doing little things that really turn me on
Like standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown
Oh, darling how I'd love to lay you downLay 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
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you downA whole lot of Decembers are showin' in your face
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place
You'll still be beautiful and I'll still be around
And if I can, I'd love to lay you downLay 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
I'll let you know how much it means just having you around
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
Oh darlin' how I'd love to lay you down
