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 just love to lay you down

Chorus:

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 means just havin you around
Oh darlin how I love to lay you down

There's a lot of ways your sweet love's turned this house into a home
You've got a way of doin little things that turn me on
Like standing in the kitchen your faded cotton gown
Oh darlin how I love to lay you down

Chorus

When a whole lot of Decembers are showing in your face
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's 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.

Chorus
