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
