i'd love to lay you down lyrics

There's a lot of ways of saying
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'd just love to lay you down

Lay you down and softly whisper
Pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things
My woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means
Having you around
Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down

There's so many ways your sweet love
Made this house into a home
You've got a way of doing
Little things that turn me on
Like standing 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
Pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things
My woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means
Having you around
Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down

Now, When a whole lot of Decembers
Are showin' 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

Lay you down and softly whisper
Pretty love words in your ear
Lay you down and tell you all the things
My woman loves to hear
I'll let you know how much it means
Having you around
Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down

Oh, darlin' how I'd love
Oh, darlin' how I'd love to lay you down...
