I'd Love To Lay You Down

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
