Lay You Down

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
and moonlight on the ground
I'll come right out and tell you
I'd just love to lay you down

  Lay you down and softly whisper
  Pretty lovewords in your ear
  Lay you 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 love to lay you down

There's so many ways your sweet love
made this house into a home
You 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...etc

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'll still love to lay you down

  Lay you down and softly whisper...etc
