I'd Love to Lay You Down

About I'd Love to Lay You Down

"I'd Love to Lay You Down" is a song written by Johnny MacRae, and recorded by American country music artist Conway Twitty. It was released in January 1980 as the first single from the album Heart & Soul. The song was Twitty's 24th number one on the country chart. The single stayed at number one for one week. The song has sold 300,000 digital copies since becoming available for download. In 2002, Daryle Singletary released a cover version which went to number 43 on the same chart. Conway's version of this song features an extremely unusual series of key changes: the song progressively lowers in key instead of the musical standard of changing keys upwards. Chris Young references this song in his single "I Can Take It from There". more »

There's a lot of ways of sayin' what I want to say to you
There's songs and poems and promises of 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 a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down

There's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home
Through raisin' kids and housework baby, you still turn me on
Even standin' in the kitchen in you faded cotton gown
With your hair all up in curlers, 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 a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down

When a whole lot of decemers are showin' on your face
And your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place
You'll still be just as lovely, and I'll still be around
And if I can I know that I'll 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 a woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around
Oh darlin' how I love to lay you down
