Lyric

There’s a lot of ways of sayin’ what I want to say to youThere’s songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come trueBut I won’t talk of starry skies or moonlight on the groundI’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 earLay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down
There’s so many ways your sweet love made this house into a homeYou’ve got a way of doin’ little things that turn me onLike standin’ in the kitchen in your faded cotton gownWith 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 earLay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down
When a whole lot of Decembers are showin’ in your faceYour auburn hair has faded and silver takes its placeYou’ll be just as lovely, and I’ll still be aroundAnd 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 earLay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down
Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your earLay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down
Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your earLay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hearI’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you aroundOh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down
