[Verse]
D
There's a lot of ways of sayin', what I want to say to you.
        A                                G                      D
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,
                        A                 G               D
I'll come right out and tell ya, I'd just love to lay you down

[Chorus]
D
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear,
       A                                 G              D
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,
                   A              D
Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down.

[Verse]
D
There's so many ways your sweet love's made this house into a home,
       A                         G                   D 
You've got a way of doin' little things that turn me on.

Like standin' in the kitchen, in your faded cotton gown, 
                         A                  G               D
With your hair all up in curlers, I'd still love to lay you down.

[Chorus]
D
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear,
       A                                 G              D
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,
                   A              D
Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down.

[Verse]
       D            
When a whole lot of Decembers are showin' in your face,
     A                         G                  D
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes it's place,
D
You'll be just a lovely, and I'll still be around, 
               A                    G               D
And if I can I know that I'll still love to lay you down.

[Chorus]
D
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear,
       A                                 G              D
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,
                   A              D
Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down.

        C
Lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear,
       G                                  F              C
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things my woman loves to hear,

I'll let you know how much it means just havin' you around,
                   G              C 
Oh Darlin' how I'd love to lay ya down.

        Bb

       F                                  Eb             Bb
Lay ya down and tell ya all the things my woman loves to hear,
