[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.
