Theres a lot of ways of sayin what I want to say to you.
Theres songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come true.
But I wont talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground.
Ill come right out and tell you Id 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.
Ill let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin, how Id love to lay you down.

Theres so many ways your sweet loves made this house into a home.
Youve 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 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.
Ill let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin, how Id love to lay you down.

When a whole lot of Decembers are showin in your face,
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place.
Youll be just as lovely and Ill still be around,
And if I can I know that Id 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.
Ill let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin, how Id 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 my woman loves to hear.
Ill let you know how much it means just having you around:
Oh darlin, how Id love to lay you down.

Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear.
Lay you do
