there's a lot of ways of sayin what i want to say to you
there's songs and poems and promise and dreams that might
come true but i won't talk of stary skies or moonlight on the
ground i'll come right and tell ya i just love to lay you down

lay ya down and softly wisper pretty love words in your ear
lay ya down and tell ya all the things a woman loves to hear
i'll let you know how much it means just having you around
oh darlin how i love to lay you down

there's so many ways your sweet loves made this house into a home
you've gotta way of doin little things that turn me on
like standin in your kitchen in your faded cotton gown with your
hair all up in curlers i still love to lay you down

lay ya down and softy wisper pretty love words in your ears
lay ya down and tell ya 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 decemebers 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 wisper pretty love words in your ear
lay ya down and tell ya 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

repeat til fades out
