Lyrics
There’s a lot of ways of sayin’ 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 down
Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya 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’d love to lay you down
There’s so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home
You’ve 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’d still love to lay ya down
Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya 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’d 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
You’ll be just as lovely, and I’ll still be around
And if I can, I know that I’d still love to lay you down
Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya 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’d love to lay you down
Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you around
Oh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down
Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you around
Oh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down
